SONNET.
IF Martiall deeds, and practise of the pen Haue wonne to auncient Grece a worthie fame. If Battels bold, and Bookes of learned men Haue magnified the mightie Romain name: Then place this Prince, who well deserues the same: Since he is one of Mars and Pallas race: For both the Godds in him haue sett in frame Their vertewes both, which both, he doth embrace. O Macedon, adornde with heauenly grace, O Romain stout, decorde with learned skill, The Monarks all to thee shall quite their place: Thy endles fame shall all the world fulfill. And after thee, none worthier shalbe seene, To sway the Svvord, and gaine the Laurell greene.T. H.
