The peace at home and lawe so well conserved,

Were croppe and rote of all his hie conquest

Through whiche the love of God he well deserved

And of his people by North, South, Est, and West,

Who might have slain that prince or downe him cast

That stode so sure in rightfull governaunce

For common weale, to God his hie pleasaunce.”
