The joyful Peace, concluded between the King of Denmark and the King of Sweden, by the means of our most worthy Sovereign, james, by the grace of God, King of great Britain France and Ireland, etc.  
To the tune of who list to lead a Soldiers life.  

 
THe Lord of Hosts hath blest no Land  
As he hath blessed ours:  
Whom neither famine, sword nor fire  
Nor misery devours.  
But in his mercy always still  
He gives us blessings store●  
And doth the hungry ever ●ll,  
And feed both rich and poor.   

For we that know not woes of war  
Forget the ●oves of peace:  
But if we once should feel wars stroke  
Then would our joys decrease,  
Let men o` judgement, ponder well  
The dangerous State of Arms  
And the● will wrae a happy peace  
More good than 〈◊〉 alarms.   

How many kingdoms hath been spoiled,  
How many Cities sacked?  
How many valiant men been foiled  
How many ships been wracked?  
What bloody massacres and Rapes  
What dismal horrid deeds?  
The ware hath both undone and ●e●●  
Whilst thousand thousands bleeds.   

And true report to Britain's brings  
What warlike cruel strife  
Twixt Denmark & the Sweavian kings  
Where thousands lost their life  
Till mighty james our Royal Liege  
Did cause the wars to end,  
And both these foes gave o'er their siege  
And each is others friend.   

For what the one demanded still  
The other still denied:  
And King's contention was the cause  
That many subjects died.  
What Princes speak in heat of blood  
In fierce consuming wrath  
And seldom can it be withstood  
Without their subjects s●ath.   

The Royal King of Denmark● laid  
Just claim to certain Land  
The which the Sweavian King denayed  
And did his force with stand  
But after many miseries  
And deadly dints of wars  
Our gracious Sovereign Lord King james  
Did end these bloody jars.    

The second part of the joyful Peace, concluded between the King of Denmark● and the King of Sweden, by the means of our most worthy Sovereign, james, by the grace of God, King of great Britain France and Ireland. etc. To tha tune of who list to lead a Soldiers life.  

 
Six Articles of consequence,  
between them is agreed:  
With oaths confirmed between each Prince,  
to be performed indeed.  
The which conditions of the peace,  
in order follow here:  
Whereby the cause of all those broils,  
to all men may appear.   

First that the King of Sweden should,  
The City Calman yield:  
Into the King of Denmark's hands,  
(ere further blood be spilled.)  
With all the profits of the same▪  
If he the same would hold  
Or else to his commodity,  
The City must be sold.   

That Elsbach, Otland, two great towns,  
and Mensborch, with the land:  
And Forces must be all delivered,  
to mighty Denmark's hand.  
For twelve years space he must enjoy,  
Those Castles Towns and Forts,  
And now in rest these Princes great,  
do flourish in their Courts.   

Besides the King of Sweden must,  
to end 〈◊〉 mighty quarrels:  
Unto the King o● Denmark pay,  
of gold full fifteen barrels.  
For charges of the foresaid wars,  
and that their ships at seas,  
May p●sse through one another's bounds,  
and ne man them displease.   

That Layland ever shall be free,  
without all contribution:  
That Greeneland is the Danish Kings,  
and give no restitution.  
That Denmark's King without all let,  
four golden Crowns may bear,  
Which was the great and greatest cause,  
he first these wars did rear.   

Besides some things of smaller note,  
betwixt them is decreed:  
And so those mighty Christian Kings,  
like brothers are agreed.  
Thus after many bloody fights,  
and many people slain:  
The deadly stroke of dangerous arms,  
brings blessed peace again.   
FINIS.
