[E Elizabeth sole rectrix of this Land]

E Elizabeth sole rectrix of this Land,
L Long time with thee hath raigned happy Peace:
I In all thy deedes assisteth Pallas hand,
Z Zenobia-like thy Fame shall neuer cease.
A All other Soyles throughout the wondrous world
B Behold and see thy sweete prosperitie:
E Euen by thy force of late they soone were thrald,
T That falsly bragged of their dietie.
H Honor, with Peace, Prosperitie, and Fame
A Accord with thee, and highly praise thy name.
T Triumph (O English people) leap for ioy,
R Redouble oft the lawding song ye sing,
I In prayse of her who banisheth Anoy.
V Vnto Iehouahs alters offerings bring,
M Mir, Franckinscence, with euery sweetest flower
P Play on your Timbrels, let your Cornets sound.
H Heave vp your hands to him that giueth power
A And did of late your threatning foes confound.
N No Traytors be but honor still her name,
S Sithence for her sake Iehouah wrought the same.
