Rhyme Scheme: ABABBABACDCDEF| Of all the Kings that euer here did raigne | A |
| Edward nam'd fourth as first in praise I name | B |
| Not for his faire outside nor well lin'd braine | A |
| Although lesse gifts impe feathers oft on fame | B |
| Nor that he could young wise wise valiant frame | B |
| His sires reuenge ioyn'd with a kingdomes gaine | A |
| And gain'd by Mars could yet mad Mars so tame | B |
| That balance weigh'd what sword did late obtaine | A |
| Nor that he made the floure de luce so 'fraid | C |
| Though strongly hedg'd of bloudy lyons pawes | D |
| That wittie Lewes to him a tribute paid | C |
| Nor this nor that nor any such small cause | D |
| But only for this worthy King durst proue | E |
| To lose his crowne rather than faile his loue | F |
