The god of warre did cease from bloodie fight,

And fruitfull plentie did her land adorne

With richest gifts, powr’d from her plenteous horne,

The happie seedes, which th’hands of peace did sow

In euerie place with goodlie fruit did grow.

Of England’s happie sonnes were seene no more:

But truth and mercie did each other kisse,
