My worckes and dedes vnto the kynge playnly declare wyll I.

My tonge is lyke the penne of one that wryteth most swyftely:
And in my talke I speake my wordes verie expeditely.
But emonge mortall men thou arte, most eloquent of all:
Thou haste a grace in wordes, for God gaue the gyftes eternall.

And in thyne owne magnificēce ryde thou prosperousely:
Upon the worde of trueth, mekenes, & that dealeth truly.

And thy right hande and myghtie powre shall the enstructe and teache:
To do thynges that are wonderfull, and beyoude all mens reache.

The kinges enmies, and much people shalbe subiect to the.

Thy princely seate shall stande for aye, O God stronge and myghtie:
The scepter of thy kyngdome is the mase of equitie.

Thou loueste ryght and hateste wronge, because God annoynted:
The wyth the oyle of gladnes more thē other elected.
The wyth the oyle of gladnes more thē other elected.
All thy garmentes do sauour of, Mirre, Aloies, and gynger:
Brought out of house of Iuory, to make the myrier.
Brought out of house of Iuory, to make the myrier.
Emonge thy noble women are kynges daughters most demure:
And thy wyfe is at thy ryght hande, decked in gould moste pure.
And thy wyfe is at thy ryght hande, decked in gould moste pure.
Geue eare daughter and marcke me wel, bowe downe thyne eare I saye:
Thou doste forget thy people & thy fathers house for aye.

For the kyng doeth verie greatly lust after thy beautie:
And for because he is thy Lord, honoure thou hym onely.
And for because he is thy Lord, honoure thou hym onely.
The daughter of Tirus also, shall wyth gyftes sue to the:
And in lyke maner shall they that of the richest sorte be.
And in lyke maner shall they that of the richest sorte be.
All the kynges daughters glorie is within forth conteyned:
Hir garmētes are of most pure gould, ryght conyngly weaued.
Hir garmētes are of most pure gould, ryght conyngly weaued.
In robes embrothered she shal be brought vnto the kynge:
Hir handmaydes and companions men shal vnto the brynge.
Hir handmaydes and companions men shal vnto the brynge.
They shall be brought to the I saye, wyth ioye and reioyceynge:
And after that they shall come to the palaice of the kynge.
And in the stede of thy fathers, chyldren shall the succede:
By whome thou shalt appoynt the whole earth to be gouerned.
By whome thou shalt appoynt the whole earth to be gouerned.
I wyll be myndefull of thy name for euer more I saye:
And therfore shall the nations celebrate the for aye.
And therfore shall the nations celebrate the for aye.
