Epigr. 21. Ad reginam Elizebetham.

Mother of England, and sweete nurse of all,
Thy countries good which all depends on thee,
Looke not that countries father I thee call,
A name of great and kingly dignitie,
Thou dost not onely match old kings, but rather,
In thy sweete loue to vs, excell a father.
