To The Bright Qveene Anne his deere Wife, and our dread Lady.

What is she that like siluer Cynthia shoethAmidst the hoast of heauen,
But fairer threetimes seauen?
It is the Queene of Loue, see where she goeth:
The Queene of Loue and Beauty, (lo) together
With her faire son the Prince of Loue comes hether.
2
The Southpole that in our Horizon shined,And made the Earth to wonder,
Gone is that Earth all vnder,
And to the Northpole hath her roome resigned:
On whom to waite our Eyes and Harts perseuer,
And may they cease, ô neuer, neuer, neuer.
3
Thou in whose Zodiak of white armes enchainedOur Sunne so oft hath shined,
In whose wombe was confined
What in this Isle scornes to be long contained;
Liue thou and he, and maist thou see him rather
Copartner then Successor to his Father.
