THen (spight of all that doe their State molest) They in their Princely Children are much blest. This King and Queene, who list's their Actions try, Shall finde them paternes of true Constancy. And that they still with Noble fortitude, And courage, all Adversities subdude. Their Patience every other vertue Crownes, It hath made Fortune weary of her frownes. Shee sees their Courage can no way be shaken, And that her labour's lost, which she hath taken, Shee therefore 'gins to turne her fickle wheele, To make Bohemia's foes her flatt'ry feele. 'Tis not great Armies, Cannons, Roring Drums, But a good Cause and Courage overcomes. The meanes to Victory, and faire Renowne, Is to let Fortitude keepe Terrour downe: And patience in all Chances is a thing, Which noble Actions to perfection bring. And how can they be any way dismay'd, That still are guarded by th'Almighties Ayde? For those that will but note from first to last, The dangers and the perils they have past, And how they still have bin preseru'd from those, That to subvert them, round did them inclose: Note but these thinges, and men will understand, They have bin still protected with Gods hand.
Let no rash Censures, or sad Malecontents, Measure mans worth according to th'events, For he that Heav'n and earthly Kingdomes swayes, Doth measure mens proceedings otherwayes. Illustrious Mansfield, God still guide thy Sword, Against th'opposers of his Sacred word: Thou art approved and thy truth is seene, In serving of this Royall King and Queene, As thou hast done, brave Generall so proceed, And God with Glory, then will Crowne thy meede. And stout Renown'd, belov'd, Right noble Vere, Thy Valour to the Heav'ns thy Fame shall reare; Thou (with much danger) hast opposde the hate, Of the fierce foes to the Palatinate. Tryumphant Victory sit on thy Helme, Which may thine Enemies all overwhelme; Thy friends and foes Report where ere they goe, Thou art a Constant friend, a Noble foe. Thus I commend to Gods Almighty Grace, The King, the Queene, and all their Princely Race; Their faithfull Subjects, and their constant Friends, Whose wishes or whose power their good intends. Live all belov'd, and whensoe're you dye, Ascend and put on Immortality.
