Even as the Sunne from foorth a watry clowd,
That late welny had drownd the world with raine:
Breakes with his brightnes through that sable shrowd
Drying the moysture from earth's face againe,
Reuiuing that by his kind Influence,
Which had decay'd by Waters violence,
That late welny had drownd the world with raine:
Breakes with his brightnes through that sable shrowd
Drying the moysture from earth's face againe,
Reuiuing that by his kind Influence,
Which had decay'd by Waters violence,
So Vertues Sunne, great Monarch of these isles,
Thy splendant rayes haue wrought the like effect;
Our teares thou hast conuerted into smiles,
To greater loves then ere we could expect:
The wit o'man mans weake vnable wit,
Admires the power of Heauen in working it.

That hand which came vnto vs with a rod,
And tooke away our peace-preseruing Queene:
That Scepter-giuer, Crowne-disposing God:
In doubt, and dread, his mercie plac'd betweene:
And where our sinnes for vengaunce, vengaunce cri'd
Compassion lay'd the sword of Wrath aside.

As Esaw wish'd for Isaacks dying day,
And sayd, the dayes of sorrowing are at hand,
My Father dead, I will my Brother slay:
So did the bloody Esawes of this land,
Whose plots to more then wishes did extende,
For many wayes they did attempt her ende.

But neuer could the Deuill by his perswasion,
Effect his purpose to her ouerthrow:
Not Poyson, Dagger, Pistoll, nor inuasion,
Could make dayes short, where heauen would yeeres bestow.
He that of life doth number euery hower,
Will put lifes lymits in no humane power.

Death came vnto her hauing Gods Commission,
That she to heauen her progresse must commence:
For to this world she came vpon condition,
To leaue the same when God did call from hence.
Her Kingdome heere, was varying by succession,
But that's a Kingdome endlesse in possession.

It were ingratefull to forget the peace,
The plentie, and the great prosperitie:
The manifold great blessings and encrease,
In foure and fourtie yeeres felicitie,
Vnder the Scepter of our gratious Princesse,
Our peace-preseruing, world admired Empresse.

If Dauid mourned for the death of Saul,
And did the people therevnto prepare?
Haue not we cause to become mourners all
For her, with whom King Saul was no compare;
Although some vertues in him might be found,
They were small Starres; her Sun-shine did abound.

In Scarlet he did Israels Daughters cloth,
And ornaments of Gold vnto them gaue:
But shee adorned soule and body both,
With richest clothing that a Realme can haue.
There is a Garment hath a Wedding name,
Most happy guest that can put on the same.

That glorious habit hath her soule put on,
And in the Court of Heu'n is resident:
Where all sing prayse to him sits on the throne,
The King of Kings, and God omnipotent
There rest faire Soule; thy Body heere abide,
Thy fame flie through the world both farre and wide.
