Sonnet. LXXXIII.

[That Bird imperiall which the gentile Poets worthy thought]

That Bird imperiall which the gentile Poets worthy thought
For vertues rare preheminence to stand ascribed fit
To Iupiter, & since in chiefe whē Romanes honor'd it
As richest ensigne which could bee for their great Monarch sought.
That puissant and imperiall beast great into Iudah brought,
Which of all other beasts beside doth as commaunder sit:
That other firme and permanent which doth so well befit
(For courage strength humility & seruice which he wrought)
The figure of that glorious, and legate most Diuine:
Together with that Angell childe chast innocent and faire
Which to the spirite of thy deare Embassadour did shine.
As Eagle first whose precious eyes more bright thē Sunbeames are,
The next as Lyon mightie made, as Bull the third more strong
And of thy deare Euangelists, the fourth as Angell yong.
