AS princes wills are commonly held lawes.
So life or death dependeth on their lookes.

As often burials is Physicians shame,
So many deaths argue a kings hard raigne.
As beasts obey the Lordly lyons looke,
So meane estate must mightie prince•• brooke.
As the Sun-beames doe lighten all the world,
So princes liues are l••nternes to their lands.
As Princes wanting wealth, learne tyrannie,
So too much treasure makes them vicious.
As biggest winds enkindle greatest flames,
So much submission makes a king most mild.
