The Crowning of Belphebe.

2.

Now flowres your odours breath,
And all. the ayre perfume,
Grow in this honor'd wreath,
And with no stormes consume,
Hayle, hayle, and welcome her,
Thou glorie of our greene,
Receiue this flowrie Spheare,
And bee the Shepheards Queene


O kneele, and doe her homage now,
That cals our hearts like fate,
Now rise, your humble bosomes bow,
And leade her to her state.
