The tag is probably parallel to the previous English clause (with which it rhymes), the whole sentence reading, ‘This will I do / when of my life and freedom I am weary / [when] there is no lesser virtue than to guard what you suppose acquired,’ or if Knevet intended ‘vere parta, ‘ ‘ … than to guard what is rightly acquired.’ The three lines just before have the same arrangement and general meaning, but no Latin.
