I See, and houlde my peace: a Princelie Poësie righte,
For euerie faulte, shoulde not prouoke, a Prince, or man of mighte.
For if that IOVE shoulde shoote, so ofte as men offende,
The Poëttes saie, his thunderboltes shoulde soone bee at an ende.
Then happie wee that haue, a Princesse so inclin'de,
That when as iustice drawes hir sworde, hath mercie in her minde,
And to declare the same, howe prone shee is to saue:
Her Maiestie did make her choice, this Poësie for to haue.
Sed piger ad poenas princeps, ad proemia velox:
Cuique dolet, quoties cogitur esse ferox.
Ouid. 2. Trist.
Si quoties peccant homi-
nes sua fulmina mittat
Iupiter, exiguo tem-
pore inermis erit.
Ouid. 1. Pont. 3.
