[XXIII. Is not that my fancies Queene]

Is not that my fancies Queene, in the brightnesse of her rayes

Is not that my fancies Queene, in the brightnesse of her rayes, Passing Summers cheerest dayes? That comes tripping, tripping, tripping, comes tripping, tripping, tripping, that comes tripping ore the Greene? It is my Loue,
