The God of War looks down, and from his eyes  
Shoots smiles of joy to see what Policies  
Are read( here) in this School: This Councell-Boord,  
( Upheld by ten brave Soldiers) does afford  
Matter( by Arms) to heighten England's State,  
These being more great than Rome's Decemuirate  
Happiest of Kings is ours: who in his Throne  
SIts, Kising Peace, enjoying her alone:  
More than all Christian Kings do) yet when Drums  
Beat at his Neighbour's Courtgates, forthwith comes  
This heap of Worthies; an by them 'tis known,  
How to guard Strangers, how to guide our own.  
Th ᵉ Soldier fights abroad, but these at home  
Teach him to fight well: From these ten Heads come  
Those streams of Council, by which War does stand  
As 〈◊〉, as in the Ocean does this Land.
