Thought, that the faire Eliza, who did frame
Her life in happie daies of peace to dwell,
Vnfurnisht was such forces to repell,
And therefore sent as from king Philip’s hand,
A sterne inscription with this proud command:
180.
This was sent written in Latin.
“With auxil’arie bands she should no more
Vphold the Belgian gainst king Philip’s frowne,
All Spanish prizes back againe restore,
