THE Princes greate, and Monarches of the earthe, Whoe, while they liu'de, the worlde might not suffice: Yet can they claime, by greatnesse of their birthe, To beare from hence, when nature life denies, Noe more then they, who for releife did pyne, Which is but this, a shrouding sheete of twyne. Thoughe fewe there bee, while they doe flourishe heere, That doe regarde the place whereto the muste: Yet, thoughe theire pride like Lucifers appeere, They shalbee sure at lengthe to turne to duste: The Prince, the Poore, the Prisoner, and the slaue, They all at lengthe, are summon'de to their graue. But, hee that printes this deeplie in his minde, Althoughe he set in mightie CAESARS chaire, Within this life, shall contentation finde, When carelesse men, ofte die in great dispaire: Then, let them blusshe that woulde be Christians thought, And faile hereof, Sith Turkes the same haue taught. As SALADINE, that was a Souldaine greate Of Babilon, when deathe did him arreste, His subiectes charg'd, when he shoulde leaue his seate, And life resigne, to tyme, and natures heste: They should prepare, his shyrte vppon a speare, And all about forthwith the same shoulde beare. Throughe ASCHALON, the place where he deceaste, With trumpet Sounde, and Heralte to declare, Theise wordes alowde: The Kinge of all the Easte Great SALADINE, behoulde is stripped bare: Of kingdomes large, and lyes in house of claie, And this is all, he bare with him awaie.
