A worthie Queene. 3.
A godly Queene, a Gift, is good, and great,
Vnto the King, the Countrey, Crowne, and State:
Shee is th'vmpeered. Mistresse, by her Merit,
And Grace of all her Sexe in Royall Spirit:
Shee is the chiefe of Women, and the chose,
Lyke to the Moone, amongst the Starres shee shoes:
And in her Spheare of Brightnesse giues nohe place,
Bot to the King, her Sunne, in anie case.
Shee is his Diamond, that's never dimbe,
Bot clearely shynes, to all the Worlde and Him.
Shee is that rich, and precious Pearle, that Hee
Vnprisable esteemeth in his Eye.
The Ioy of Courts, and Comfort of the King,
From whence Content, all Peace, and Pleasure spring.
Shee th'Orbe is where, his loving Motions moue,
In the effects, reciproake of their Loue.
Shee's Wisdomes fairest Loue, Shee's Vertues Grace:
In Naturs first, and Honours highest place.
Shee is the Hand-mayde of the LORD most hie.
And th'other halfe vnto the King must bee.
Last, by her worthie carriage shee gaines
To bee the Kingdoms Beautie, where shee reigns.
