INsula quae ternis discreta Britannia regnis,
Sub sceptris primùm floruit vnatribus:
Quae{que} exinde gradu justo contendere ad v∣nā
Accelerans, gentes ceperat vnaduas.
Tandem terrarum quas Tethyos alluit aequor
Maxima, in amplexus en tibi tota ruit.
Sed ne quid numeris pereat titulisque vetustis,
Deque ferant primis vltima judicium;
Et regna accedunt Regi tria: Ter Deus vnus
Hunc numerum & titulis jussit adesse suis.
Sic Jovis horrendi magnum per inane trisulca
Iussa ferirereos fulmina sparsa micant:
Tres Charites grato vincentes cuncta lepore
Conciliant animos in fera bella truces.
Hae comites Regiassistunt Dominum{que} sequuntur,
Principe nec quicquam gratius vlla videt.
Principe non alio contenta Britannia (coeli
Orbis ab immenso quam dirimebat amor)
Quàm qui caelitibus junctus, quem gloria coelo
A•• quat, & humanum dat superare modum.
Proxime Dîs Princeps, cujus stant publica fatis
Fata; tuis, tibi quae laeta velint superi.
Incolumi te, quicquid habet tuus orbis & alter
Exultat, genio debita paxque tuo.

Teque adeo sacrum dum nobis Anglia reddit
Depositum, fidei nobile pignus habens;
Sedulus occursat populus, dum compita gente
Fervent nativa te cupiente frui:
Dum proceres vtrius{que}, vno te Principe, gentis
vnius, vnum te quem venerentur habent,
Quem comitentur habēt, implentes omnia plausu;
Gaudia per varias dant repetuntque vices:
Non strepitus animos{que} virûm tua Scotia vidit
Assimiles, fato non strepere aera pari:
Agmina non simili affectu coëuntia: donec
Vna alii quondam gens inimica fuit.
Aurea saecla tibi dat fors in versa, per agros
Auditur que cauis nil nisi pompa tubis.
Sic eat: atque suo felix ter maximus Heros
Cum populo, terrae jura det atque mari.
Decurrat{que} Augusta domus, servet{que} tridentem
Regalem donec voluerit astra polus.
