Which did obscure this kingdome’s faire day-light,
Did take an end: heere some auspitious star
Twixt Yorke and Lancaster did end the iar,
Appointing Richmond that Lancastrian knight,
T’inoculate his Red Rose with the White:
Heere therefore with this blissefull vnitie,
We will shut vp our tragicke historie,
And thou, whose pen we do appoint to write
Those Mirrours past, which thou hast heard this night;
Awake from sleepe, and let thy willing pen
