THE worlds faire Rose, and Henries frostie fire,
Iohns tiranny; and chaste Matilda's wrong,
Th'inraged Queene, and furious Mortimer,
The scourge of Fraunce, and his chaste loue I song,
Deposed Richard, Isabell exil'd,
The gallant Tudor, and faire Katherine,
Duke Humfrey, and old Cobhams haplesse child,
Couragious Pole, and that braue spritfull Queene,
Edward, and the delicious London Dame,
Brandon, and that rich dowager of Fraunce,
Surrey, with his faire paragon of fame,
Dudleys mishap, and vertuous Grayes mischaunce;
Their seuerall loues since I before haue showne,
Now giue me leaue, at last to sing mine owne.
