Both from Augustus and Augusta spring,  
One and the same, ROBERT ELIZABETH  
Both in one month jove to the light did bring,  
Augustus named; which this good presage hath,  
Augustus' Fate, one day must them befall,  
And him Augustus, her Augusta call.    
Being both of them on their most noble Father's side lineally descended, He in the ninth, She in the tenth degree, (which numbers in them united, make up King james his auspicious and lucky number of nineteen) from two most noble, virtuous and worthy Princes, ROBERT Prince Palatine and Emperor, and ELIZABETH princess Palatine and Empress.

Emperors and as many Kings of divers countries. 9 CHarles-Iames surnamed the Concorder, Britain's King of concord, the only Son and heir of King Henry and Queen Mary of Scotland.  10 ELizabeth, surnamed the Beloved, the mirror of mildness, courtesy and humanity, the only daughter of our most gracious Sovereign King james, and of his most noble wife Queen Anne, the dear sister of our late peerless prince Henry, surnamed the glory of Gallants; & of prince Charles Albion's hearts-ioy, whose Pedigree I have derived from Otho once Earl of York and Emperor, brother to Henry Prince Palatine: and likewise from prince Albert Marquis of Brandeburge, who for his incomparable courage was called the Achilles of Germany, wishing that like as prince Charles was borne on his day, and doth participate of his blood, so he may likewise inherit his heroical prowess and one day be enstiled the Achilles of Britanny.
