O, dow let Richmond and Elizabeth,

That would reduce these bloody days again, The true succeeders of each royal house,

And make poor England weep in streams of blood ! By God's fair ordinance conjoin together!

Let them not live to taste this land's increase, And let their heirs, God, if thy will he so,) That would with treason wound this fair land's peace! Enrich the time to come with smooth-fac'd peace, Now civil wounds are stopp'd, peace lives again; With sıniling plenty, and fair prosperous days! That she may long live here, God say-Amen! Abate the edge of traitors, gracious Lord,
