Tixall Poetry.
F.Supose loves garland, those who seeke,
May find inclosd in every cheeke;
Yet love his crowne will onely yeelde
To win i' th' foreheads open feelde.
C.Supose the single front may frowne
Under a French, or single crowne;
Yet doble cheekes united raigne,
And beare the doble crownes of Spaine.
F.Though cheekes there doble garlands prayse
The forehead beares alone the bayse,
As in degree above compare,
And to the crowne imediate heire:
Then let all loyall lovers bow,
Not to the cheeke, but to the brow.
C.How can the brows degre be good,
So paile, and so remote in blood?
How can he claime the royall throne,
That hath no coler to the crowne,
When in the cheekes faire doble posys,
French lilys meet with English roses?
