Heare, and record it: "In a prince it is "No little vertue, to know who are his. With like deuotions, doe I stoope t'embrace This springing glory of thy godlike race; His countries wonder, hope, loue, ioy and pride: How well dooth he become the royall side Of this erected, and broade spreading Tree, Vnder whose shade, may Brittaine euer be. And from this branch, may thousand branches more Shoote o're the maine, and knit with euery shore In bonds of marriage, kinred, and increase; And stile this land, the nauill of their peace.

And heere she comes that is no lesse a part In this dayes greatnesse, then in my glad heart. Glory of queenes, and glory of your name, Whose graces doe as farre out-speake your fame, As fame doth silence, when her trumpet rings You daughter, sister, wife of seuerall kings: Besides alliance, and the stile of mother, In which one title you drowne all your other. Instance, be that faire shoote, is gone before, Your eldest ioy, and top of all your store, With those, whose sight to vs is yet deni'd, But not our zeale to them, or ought beside This citie can to you: For whose estate Shee hopes you will be still good aduocate To her best lord. So, whilst you mortall are, No taste of sowre mortalitie once dare Approch your house; nor fortune greete your grace But comming on, and with a forward face. Begin our spring, and with our spring the prime, And first accompt of yeeres, of months, of time: And may these Ides as fortunate appeare To thee, as they to CAESAR fatall were. Be all thy thoughts borne perfect, and thy hopes In their euents still crown'd beyond their scopes. Let not wide heauen that secret blessing know To giue, which shee on thee will not bestow. Blind Fortune be thy slaue; and may her store (The lesse thou seek'st it) follow thee the more. Much more I would: but see, these brazen gates Make haste to close, as vrged by thy fates; Here ends my cities office, here it breakes: Yet with my tongue, and this pure heart, shee speakes A short farewell; and lower then thy feet, With feruent thankes, thy royall paynes doth greet. Pardon, if my abruptnesse breed disease; ,,He merits not t'offend, that hastes to please. All ills shall flie the light: Thy court be free No lesse from enuie, then from flatterie; All tumult, faction, and harsh discord cease, That might perturbe the musique of thy peace: The querulous nature shall no longer find Roome for his thoughts: One pure consent of mind Shall flow in euery brest, and not the ayre, Sunne, moone, or starres shine more serenely faire. This from that loud, blest Oracle, I sing, Who here, and first, pronounc'd, thee Brittaines king Long maist thou liue, and see me thus appeare, As omenous a comet, from my spheare, Vnto thy raigne; as that did auspicate So lasting glory to AVGVSTVS state.
