2220To iustice, continence, and Nobillitie:

2321But let desert in pure election shine,

2422And Romaines fight for freedome in your choice.

2624Princes that striue by factions and by friends,

2725Ambitiously for Rule and Emperie,

2826Know that the people of Rome for whom we stand

2927A speciall Partie, haue by common voice,

3028In election for the Romaine Empery

3129Chosen Andronicus, surnamed Pius:

3230For many good and great deserts to Rome,

3331A Nobler man, a brauer Warriour,

3432Liues not this day within the Cittie walls.

3533Hee by the Senate is accited home,

3634From weary warres against the barbarous Gothes,

3735That with his sonnes a terrour to our foes,

3836Hath yoakt a Nation strong, traind vp in Armes.

3937Tenne yeares are spent since first he vndertooke

4038This cause of Rome, and chastised with armes

4139Our enemies pride: Fiue times he hath returnd

4240Bleeding to Rome, bearing his valiant sonnes,

4341In Coffins from the field, and at this day,

43.142To the Monument of that Andronicy

43.243Done sacrifice of expiation,

43.344And slaine the Noblest prisoner of the Gothes.

4445And now at last laden with honours spoiles,

4546Returnes the good Andronicus to Rome,

4647Renowned Titus flourishing in Armes.

4748Let vs intreat by honour of his name,

4849Whom worthily you would haue now succeede,

4950And in the Capitall and Senates Right,

5051Whom you pretend to honour and adore,

5152That you withdraw you, and abate your strength,

5253Dismisse your followers, and as suters should,

5354Pleade your deserts in peace and humblenes.
