[Terrestriall Ioyes are tied with sclender file]
Terrestriall Ioyes are tied with sclender file,
Eche happy hap full hastily doth slyde,
As Sommer season lasteth but a while,
So Winter stormes do longer time abide:
Alas what blisse can any time endure?
Our Sunshine day is dashte with sodaine shoure.

Coulde tongue expresse our secreate ioyes of hart,
(Oh mighty Prince) when thou didst come in place?
No no God wot, nor can expresse the smarte
Thy Subiectes feele in this departing case.
But gratious Queene, let here thy Grace remaine
In gratious wise, till thy returne againe.

Thy Subiectes feele in this departing case.
But gratious Queene, let here thy Grace remaine
In gratious wise, till thy returne againe.
In lieu whereof, receiue thy Subiects heartes,
In fixed Faith continually thine owne:
Who ready rest to lose their vitall parts
In thy defence, when any blaste is blowne.
Thou arte oure Queene, oure rocke and onely stay,
We are thine owne to serue by night and day.

Farewell oh Queene, farewell oh Mother deere,
Let Iacobs God thy sacred body guarde:
All is thine owne that is possessed here,
And all in all is but a small rewarde
For thy greate grace, God length thy life like Noe,
To gouerne vs, and eke thy Realme in Ioy.
Let Iacobs God thy sacred body guarde:

And all in all is but a small rewarde
To gouerne vs, and eke thy Realme in Ioy.
Amen.
