[_]

Day glorefying Phœbe doth arise
Opening her christall colowred gates of bewty
Rose Coloured cheeks starre bewtefying eyes
Omnipotent deuinenes owes thee dutye.
The graces at thy rare Natiuety
Hoverd about thy head with siluer wings
Yelding a flowry chaplet fit for kings
Opening her christall colowred gates of bewty
Rose Coloured cheeks starre bewtefying eyes
Omnipotent deuinenes owes thee dutye.
The graces at thy rare Natiuety
Hoverd about thy head with siluer wings
Yelding a flowry chaplet fit for kings

Hate at thy birthday was a banisht slaue
And bewty like a prisner was thy thrall
Loue like a captiue crept from forth his graue
Swearing to be a seruaunt at thy call.
And Cupid on his knees to thee did fall:
Letting the world to know: that on his knee
Lowe bending honor stooped vnto thee.
And bewty like a prisner was thy thrall
Loue like a captiue crept from forth his graue
Swearing to be a seruaunt at thy call.
And Cupid on his knees to thee did fall:
Letting the world to know: that on his knee
Lowe bending honor stooped vnto thee.
