GReat Love, and little skill may cause mee to missayBut certainly this sicknesse cannot make thee dye:Though cruell Symptomes, and these thirteene yeers assayFor thy deare Countrey, doth thy health and strength decay.Yet sith thy toylesome labour, and thy industryIs for thy Countries sake, her fame on high to raise:She shall thy Temples crowne with everlasting Bayes,And in despight of Death, shall cause thy memorieTo live in endlesse fame with all posteritie.Now may she see her beautie, and her riches store,What erst she was in ev'ry age, and change of State,And present greatnesse such as never heretofore,Since this great Monarch rul'd from North to Southern shore.And sith thy life is to thy Country dedicate,Let none presume thy Lawrell from thy head to reaveFor this her Story, which thy skilfull hand did weave:But live and weare it [Speed] untill the worlds great fateShall bring all earthly things unto their utmost date.
ALEX: GILL.
