Upon Breaking the Seals
Upon Breaking the Seals because of the Kings Image on them. or the states Polecy Ego frangam te ne tu frangas me
Whilst policy doth thus provide
Better Destroy than t'be Destroy'd
More pitty I than wonder Lacke
For Seals and all that goe to wrack
But how will thos hence forward drive
On their design'd prerogative
Unless they doe a new one gett
May be their owne, noe Counterfett
Which should I proffer I'de not seek
To other caracter, then Greeke
That alphabet hath some one Letter
May for their pardons graunt serve better
Than any now our King is gon
Bears Longer Superscription
Than when they doe for mercy call
A Letter Long may conclude all
