Which should confer the noblest gift on you;
The Queen discloseth a majestick front,
VVhich of your high extraction gives account.
The laureate Dame a pregnant VVit doth vent,
And a choice genius, the She's ornament.
Love's Queen shews as much beauty as is fit,
And with the chastest colours brightens it.
The Graces make your good works to abound,
VVhile Voice and Hand can nought, but Vertue sound:
The Turban'd Dame your pious orgies Crowns,
Hence your Devotion is so savoury grown.
And while the Muses all these gifts recount,
Their own Donations all the rest surmount.
For these, which, with their owner, might decline,
To all Posterity they will enshrine.
