Benedicta tu in mulieribus.
Death came, and troopes of sad diseases ledTo th'earth, by womans hand solicited.
Life came so too, and troopes of Graces led
To th'earth, by womans faith solicited.
As our lifes spring came from thy blessed wombe,
So from our mouthes springs of thy praise shall come.
Who did lifes blessing give, 'tis fit that she
Above all women should thrice blessed be.
