----Pleading for a righteous peace Aswage the warres which gods commands you to surcease. N. [599] ----We met, and did imbrace, All warre was set aside and ladie peace tooke place. N. [600] The craggie mountaines that do touch the skies, With aged heads are euer white with snow, The seas allow do rore, whence vapours rise, And from the hilles great streames of waters floe, The pathes so strict to passe which few do goe. N. [601] Hang threatning death to them below. N. [602] The Tuscans as we droue our heards of neat. N. [603] Frenchmen with vs were. N. [604] Could not hold vs well. N.

[618] Without your powerful aides, whose actes the world haue won. N. [619] For which the souldiers all did chuse him for their king, But them as captaine he against their foes would bring. N. [620] Horse, which made a goodly sight. N. [621] We wan the fielde in fight, we spoild the land at will. N.
