What sweet releef

Phebe twise took her horns

Louers men warn the corps

Sythe, Blackwood

Imps of king Ioue

In workyng well

Who wold beleeue mans life

By heauens hye gift

Charis the fourth

What cause, what reaso[n]

Deserts of Nymphs

Now flaming Phebus

To you, madame, I wish

As this first daye of Ianus

Gorgeous attire

To you this present yere

No image carued

What one art thou

The auncient time commended

What path list you to tred?

What race of life ronne you?

When princes lawes

Of all the heauenly gifts

The issue of great Ioue

The worthy Wilfords body

For Wilford wept first men

Man, by a woman lern

Myrrour of matrones

Now, blythe Thaley

Yea, and a good cause

The noble Henry

Mee thought, of late

Now clattering arms

Therfore, when restlesse rage

To you, madame, I wish, bothe now, and eke from yere to yere,
Stre[n]gth w[ith] Debore, w[ith] Iudith faith, w[ith] Maudle[n] zeal, Anns chere
With blessed Mary modest moode: like Sibill, life full long:
A mynde with sacred sprite enspired, wit fresh, and body strong:
And, when of your forepointed fate you haue outroon the race:
Emong all these, in Ioues hye raygn of blisses full, a place.
