Which work is the quote 'health peace and sweet content be yours' attributed to Shakespeare from?

Shakespeare did not write this. Prince John in Henry IV says "Health, peace and happiness to my royal father". It would appear that someone put the "sweet content" line on a Christmas card and then attributed it to Shakespeare because it sounded like something he might say. Shakespeare gets things attributed to him that he didn't write all the time.
Another likely source is Robert Burns.
O Scotia! my dear, my native soil!
For whom my warmest wish to heaven is sent;
Long may thy hardy sons of rustic toil
Be blest with health, and peace, and sweet content.
- Robert Burns, The Cotter's Saturday Night (1786), Stanza 20.

Did shakespeare receive a Nobel Peace Prize?
Well, no. Even if they had such things as Nobel Peace Prizes in Shakespeare's day, which they didn't because they were not invented until almost 300 years after Shakespeare died, Shakespeare would not have been considered since he did not come close to meeting the requirement of having "done the most or the best work for fraternity between nations, for the abolition or reduction of standing armies and for the holding and promotion of peace conferences." If they had had a literature prize, he might have won. But they didn't.
