3. Shewes & nightly reuels signes of ioy and peace


Shewes and nightly reuels signes of ioy and peace
    fill royall Britaines court while cruell warre 
    farre off doth rage for euer hence exiled.

Faire and princely branches with strong armes encrease 
    from that deepe rooted tree whose sacred strength 
    and glory forren malice hath beguiled.

Our deuided kingdomes now in frendly kindred meet
    and old debate to loue and kindnes turns 
    our power with double force vniting.

Truly reconciled griefe appeares at last more sweet
    both to our selues and faithful friends 
    our vndermining foes affrighting.
