Queene Anne, behold your seruauntes, the three Graces,
Gevinge vnto your grace faithfull assistence,
With their moste goodly ameable faces:
Thei attend with their contynuaall presence
Where your grace goeth, absent in your absence;
While your grace is here, thei also here dwell,
About the plesaunte brinkes of this liue well.
Gevinge vnto your grace faithfull assistence,
With their moste goodly ameable faces:
Thei attend with their contynuaall presence
Where your grace goeth, absent in your absence;
While your grace is here, thei also here dwell,
About the plesaunte brinkes of this liue well.
Now here to bee, thei thought it their duetie,
And presentely to salue you, gracious Queene,
Entring this daye into this noble Citie,
In suche triumphaunte wise as hathe not been seene;
Whiche thing, to your honour and ioye maye it beene!
These three sisturs thought it their rebuke and shame,
This daye to bee slacke in honouring their Dame.
And presentely to salue you, gracious Queene,
Entring this daye into this noble Citie,
In suche triumphaunte wise as hathe not been seene;
Whiche thing, to your honour and ioye maye it beene!
These three sisturs thought it their rebuke and shame,
This daye to bee slacke in honouring their Dame.
