St. George for England , And St. Dennis for France , O hony soite qui maly pance , To an excellent new tune ,

St George, on horseback, slays a dragon

WHat need we brag or bost at a●l , of Arthur or his Knights , Knowing how many valiant men , they have subdu'd in fights . For bold Sir Lancelot-Du-Lake , was of the Table round , And fighting for a Ladies sake , his sword with faim was Crown'd , For Tarquin that great Giant , his vassale did remain . But St. George , St. George , the Dragon he hath slain . St. George he was for England , St. Dennis was for France . O hony soite qui maly pance . We read of Alexander , the Conquerer of all . Who did subdue this mighty world ; Incompassing the ball , He was both King of Sea and Land , and did all honour kéep , But hearing of no other world , it made him for to wéep . He conquered Turks and infidels , the Pagan , Jewe and Dane . But St. George , &c , ●en̄des great Julius Ceaser , did reign a potent Lord , By conquering Crowns and Kingdomes , he put them to the sword : His name in antient Chronicles : declares his enterprize , And how he won the glory still , from all his enemies . Where Troops of horse and Armed men , his Captaines did remain , But St. George , &c. You have heard of mighty Tamberlain , who with his fatall blows , D●d over top great Princes , and made foot-balls of thrée Crowns , For being thus exalted , upon a Kingly Throne , He bore the Scepter of the world , and none but he alone . For Kings did draw his Chariot , who did his slaves remain . But St , George , &c. Great Ajax , and stout Hector , did combate by the day . And rushing in the Armies still , their bloody swords made way . The Greeks and Trojans went to wrack by their couragious force , For Hector in the heat of blood . spar'd neither man nor horse , When Hector took his last good night , then Troy was quickly tane , But St. George , St. George , the Dragon he hath slain . St. George he was for England . St. Dennis was for France , O hony soite qui maly pance ,

two knights in armour fight with swords

AChillis for a Ladies sake , went to the wars of Troy , But there by Paris he was slain , King Priams lovely boy . For with a fierce and fiery dart , composed all of steel , Young Paris kill'd Achillis there , by darting through his heele . The Greecians for their Generall , did very much complain . But St. George , St. George , the Dragon he hath slain , St. George he was for England , St. Dennis was for France , O hony soite qui maly pance , Twelve labours was by Hercules , perform'd with courage stout Who travell'd round about the world , to find his Mistris out , He made grim Pluto tremble , and Cerberus quake for fear ; And to great Atlas King of Wi●s , he did the Standerd bear , Yet Hercules by his own Muse , did suffer mortall pain , But St. George . &c. The Noble Earl of Warwick , great Gyants did subdu In honor of his Phillis sake , his King and Country to . A Savage Bore by him was kill'd whom he left void of breath . Besides the brutish Dun Cow , the Divell of Dunsmoore Heath , And Beevis of South hamhton , put Dragons to much pair , But St. George , &c. Make Anthony I le warrant you , plaid feats with Aegypts Quéen , Sir Eaglemore that valiant Knight , the like was never séen . grim Gorgous might was known in fight and Orson most men frighted , The Mermadons and Prestor John , deserbed to be knighted , Brave Spaniola , ( took in Breda , the generall of Spain , But St. George , meet the Dragon , and turnd him over and over again . St David for great honor , in Forreign Lands did séek , Which makes the Welsh for memory , to wear a famous Lèeke . St Patrick too in Ireland , all venum did expell , For which a red Rose they did wear , as storyes true doth tell , St. Andrew for cold Scotland , a Champion did remain , But St. George , &c. Next Anthony for Italy , a Captain stout and bold , With James of Spain did venture , to find the Indian gold , They overthrew the Pagans Gods . in every forreign Land . And for the fame of Christendome , most stoutly they did stand , St Dennis was as brave a soul , as any of the train . But St , George , St. George , the Dragon he hath slain . S. S.
