Sonnet 3.
[Fair fruitfull Daughter of th'Omnipotent]
Fair fruitfull Daughter of th'Omnipotent,Great Vmpire that doost either World sustain,
Without whose help all would return again
(Like hidious Chaos) to confusion bent.
O Mother of the liuing, second Nature
Of th'Elements (Fire, Water, Earth, and Air)
O Grace (whereby men climbe the heavenly stair)
Whence void, this world harbours no happy creature.
Pillar of Lawes, Religious pedestall,
Hope of the godly, glory of th'Immortall;
Honour of Cities, Pearl of Kingdoms all;
Thou Nurse of Vertues, Muses chief supportall;
Patron of Arts, of Good the speciall spring:
All hail (deer Peace) which vs all heale doost bring.
Du Bartas | ||
