Then marched they aboute agayne, and that done, Iupiter spake to the Queene in this sorte, and then gaue her a ryding Wande of Whales fin curiously wrought.

Feare not oh Queene, thou arte beloued so,
As Subiectes true, will truely thee defende:
Feare not my power to ouerthrow thy wo,
I am the God that can eche misse amende.
Thou doest know, great Ivpiter am I,
That gaue thee fyrst thy happy Soueraigntie.
I giue thee still, as euer thou haste had,
A peerelesse power, vnto thy dying daye:
I giue thee rule to ouercome the bad,
And loue, to loue thy louing Subiectes aye.
I giue thee heere this small and slender wande,
To shew, thou shalt in quyet rule the Lande.
