## Summary

_Con._ Good Vortigern! as peace doth bless our isle, And the loud din of war no more affrights us, And as my soul hath plac’d thee next herself, ’Tis our desire that thou deny’st us not That, which anon we crave thee to accept; For though most weighty be the proffer’d task, We trust thy goodness will the toil accept, Since we have always found thee kind by nature; And, as the pelican, e’en with thy blood, Ready to succour and relieve.
