WHILE deadly foes, their engines haue prepard
with furie fierce, to batter downe the walles
My dutie is the Citie gate to guard
And to rebate their Rammes, and fierie balls
So that if firmely, I do stand without
Within the other, neede no daunger doub
Dread Soveraigne IAMES, whose puissant name to heare
The Turke may tremble, and the Traitor pine
Belou'd of all thy people, farre and neere
Defend without, and thou within shalt see
A thousand thousand, liue and die with thee.
