The glorious Sunne, that cheeres vs with his light

THE glorious Sunne, that cheeres vs with his light,
And giueth life, and growth to every thing:
Can brooke no peere, to check his soveraigne right,
But onely will remaine, the Heauens sole king:
When lesser starres, that borrow from his light,
Doe keepe their course, in numbers infinite.

So fares it with the vulgar that doe goe,
In loue, and mutuall concord most secure,
When Paritie procures the overthrow,
Of Monarchies, that else might well endure:
And like moe Sunnes in skie, portendeth still,
The Princes ruine, or a worser ill.
