¶ Howe King Henry and the King of Fraunce met together betweene Calice and boloigne by a place called Morguison 1532.

My glauncing Pen nowe glyded ys From Mars his bluddie broyle: And eke my muse desyres to rest a whyle in frindships soyle. As way warde warre bereues the breath of many worthie wyghtes: So frindly peace preserues the lyues of noble valyant knyghtes. And Tully doth preferre that peace which grounded is on yll: Before the warre whose quarell ryght, The blood of man doth spill. In faithfull league of frindships force where Princes knitt the knot: Unto those realmes whyle it doth last is sure a happie lott. The Princes sleepe is not vnsounde, For doubt of forraine foes: The Souldiérs werye wounded limmes to rest do then repose. The Marchant sendes hys hoysed sayles the surging Seas to sheare: Which scowreth through the wandring waues deuoyde of doubtfull feare. The publyke state of common wealth then lyues in quyet rest,

So that recourse from sundrie soyles 〈◊〉〈◊〉 worke all for the best. 〈◊〉〈◊〉 ••••••ey helpeth other then and what one lande doth want Another doth supply the same, no needefull thinges are scant. And the through concorde sclender thinges to 〈◊〉〈◊〉 great encrease: 〈◊〉〈◊〉 d••corde both consume as fast men set vs praye for peace: Which causeth worldly wealth to ryse 〈◊〉〈◊〉 ••••••••dly 〈◊〉〈◊〉 to flowe: As ••horher hath contrarye force, and makes wealth ebbe as lowe. Nowe 〈◊〉〈◊〉 that long tyme had sought to kni•••••• within her bande: The king of Fraunce vnto the no∣ble King of this oure lande: Fo••nde o•••• a tyme conuenient, and eke indifferent place: Whereas these noble Princes bothe together myght embrace. To treate of faithfull frindships lore with one consent they meere: Where they with ioye and tryumphes greate eche other then do greete. The thing that bothe Realmes long desyrde, at that tyme myght you viewe: The order of which ioyfull sight, hereafter doth ensue.
