Gif to her Guifts, and greater Hop's had bene,
Her Fate, and Fortons, Fortunate in Fine.
HER Life, but Jarrs, her Daeth begat her Joyes,
The Coyners of her Cares, her Crosses cur'd:
Short Suffring soone, annulled her annoyes,
And to be Crovnd, and Re-inthrond assurd:
From Earth to Heaw'ne, from Prison to Repose,
To spire in Paradise, up sprang this Rose.
IT helped not, to be a Prince Supreame,
Her Hops, tho hudge, without effecting faild:
Noght cared wes, to mony Crouns her Clame,
Prevaricat Opinions prewaild:
Vn-Truths, ill Try'd, a Forme deform'd did find,
True Maiestie, to marre and vndermind.
