The Raigne of King
1893Ch: I haue a prophecy my gratious Lord,
1895To happen vs in this outragious warre,
1897By one that is an aged Hermyt there,
1898when fethered foul shal make thine army tremble,
1900Then thinke on him that doth not now dissemble
1901For that shalbe the haples dreadfull day,
1902Yet in the end thy foot thou shalt aduance,
1903as farre in England, as thy foe in Fraunce,
1906Should euer rise and breake the battaile ray,
1907Or airie foule make men in armes to quake,
1909Or say this might be true, yet in the end,
1911And forrage their Countrie as they haue don ours
1913But all are fryuolous, fancies, toyes and dreames,
1915Catch we the father after how we can. Exeunt.
1916Enter Prince Edward, Audley and others.
1917Pr: Audley the armes of death embrace vs round,
1918And comfort haue we none saue that to die,
1922But now their multitudes of millions hide
1923Masking as twere the beautious burning Sunne,
