2 Was by _Maximian_ lately led away,
With wretched miseries, and woefull ruth,
4 Were to those Pagans made an open pray,
And dayly spectacle of sad decay:
6 Whom _Romane_ warres, which now foure hundred yeares,
And more had wasted, could no whit dismay;
8 Till by consent of Commons and of Peares,
They crownd the second _Constantine_ with ioyous teares,
