VERSES TO BEE SETT OVER THE THREE CROWNED PLUMES, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: Bellona vaunts that this brave prince to her belonged
Last Line: A crowned head, a prudent heart, a valiaunt hand.


Bellona vaunts that this brave Prince to her belongd
Because hee bare these loftie plumes the badge of Mart
But myld Minerva plain'd her right was therein wrongd
For that the learned Quills are instruments of Art
Nay then quoth Juno, stay, this Crowne hee houlds of mee
Therefore shall Arts, and Arms but his attendants bee
Now tell mee noble Fraunce what wrong maye well withstand
A Crowned head, a prudent heart, a valiaunt hand.
