Rhyme Scheme: ABBBBBBBCDECDF

Vane young in yeares but in sage counsell oldA
Then whome a better Senatour nere heldB
The helme of Rome when gownes not armes repelldB
The feirce Epeirot amp the African boldB
Whether to settle peace or to unfoldB
The drift of hollow states hard to be spelldB
Then to advise how warr may best upheldB
Move by her two maine nerves Iron amp GoldB
In all her equipage besides to knowC
Both spirituall powre amp civill what each meanesD
What severs each thou hast learnt which few have donE
The bounds of either sword to thee wee owC
Therfore on thy firme hand religion leanesD
In peace amp reck'ns thee her eldest sonF
