Tit.

A better head her Glorious body fits,

Then his that shakes for age and feeblenesse:

What should I d'on this Robe and trouble you,

Be chosen with proclamations to day,

To morrow yeeld vp rule, resigne my life,

And set abroad new businesse for you all.

Rome I haue bene thy Souldier forty yeares,

And led my Countries strength successefully,

And buried one and twenty Valiant Sonnes,

Knighted in Field, slaine manfully in Armes,

In right and Seruice of their Noble Countrie:

Giue me a staffe of Honour for mine age,

But not a Scepter to controule the world,

Vpright he held it Lords, that held it last
