First Line: When greife with mutiny disturbs the hart
Last Line: The cheefest jewell of the famous rheyne
Subject(s): Henry, Prince Of Wales (1584-1612)


When greife with mutiny disturbs the hart
And hath rebell'd against lifes setled state
It scornes subjection to the soules best part
And (to the death) Reasons command doth hate
Whearein oft tymes this furye doth prevayle
When Reasons Cynque-portes, and her cheifest peers
(By sighing tempests) do grow weake, and fayle
Beinge over-whelm'd with ore-growne seas of teares
But (Madam) you have gott the victory.
(By heavens high grace) against conspiring greife
Your wisdom mayntaynes Reasons Empery,
And hath afforded Comfort due releife,
For which she tribute payes to you ageyne
The cheefest Jewell of the famous Rheyne
