Ave Maria.
Once thou rejoycedst, and rejoyce for ever,Whose time of joy shall be expired never:
Who in her wombe the Hive of Comfort beares,
Let her drinke Comforts Honey with her eares.
You brought the word of joy, which did impart
An Haile to all, let us An Haile redart.
From you God save into the World there came;
Our Eccho Haile is but an empty name.
