her mourning garments done away All her assistants sighde and sobd ful sad Reioyced nowe and Solemnizde that day With songes and making garlandes gorgeous gay Then thus shee spake good Mercury at large Report the thinges committed to thy charge His replie Her heauenly hewe her more then mortall grace For vertue may mortall immortall make Her stately steppes her princelie royall race Her Maiestie makes mortall men to quake Her dignitie doth make the gods to shake When earthly eyes her highnesse doe behold They doe affirme her forme not from the moulde Ouer her head angels with swordes in hande Betwixt her eyes doth right remorse remaine Before her face the feare of God doth stande Salomons blisse abideth in her braine Her eares bee stopt to matters vilde and vaine From goodlie lips her learned tongue doth tell The way to heauen where shee no doubt doth dwell Contented life within her minde doth rest Vpon her breast doth perfect blisse abide And charitie doth sit vpon her chest A certaine sure state that cannot slide Is fixt as best beseemes fast to her side Most worthie prayse for her virginitie Diana neuer halfe so chaste as she Her arme doth rule a mightie Realme by right Her hande doth giue eche one his due desart To walke in righteous wayes is her delight From perfect path her feete doe not depart Her steppes most straight doe shew her heauenly heart Vnder her feete raging reuenge doth couch At her commaunde her valure to auouche When treasons spightful hid conspiracies They woulde vntwine her worthie warped twist These heauenly Angels then with Argus eies Doe force the blooddie blade from traytours fist Whose gotten gaine is heauie had I wist When forraigne foes would reaue her princely crown Then blacke reuenge doth beate their boastings down This true report whilst Maias sonne hath made And brought the gods from maruaile to a maze Withouten shape all substantlesse a shade Appearde in sight on which they all did gaze Whose bended browes an inwarde griefe did blaze This shadowe seemde with all her might in vaine To turne the wheele where mankinde doth remaine On toppe whereof Minerua hath her place A glorious seat by which but one did sit and hee not knowne princes of royal race about the sides in place for them most fit A godly youth and of a worthie wit Was plast with them whose mothers due desart Quite from the wheele had laid her downe apart Alecto then the breader of debate Though pale and wane yet blewe with ruthfull rage Fie fortune fie quoth she fie on thy state A goddesse no thou wart in elder age Contemned nowe of plowman prince and page No homage done honour nor sacrifice Come take reuenge of this contempt arise By nature I all happinesse doe hate The giftes I giue are bitter griefes like gall Hate spight malice and madnesse staie my state With these I dayly doe deuise to thrall All such as sit aloft in stately stal My pleasure is the fortunate to foyle All my delight is in their speedie spoyle With mightie arme to turne this wheele make hast Let them belowe aboue in blisse remaine My gorgeous Galathea is disgrast Whom to aduance I toyle as yet in vaine Of thee and to thy grace shee doth complaine Heare her at last and let her not for aye By due desart be drowned in decay But fortunes force was now of none auaile When vices vilde to caue of cruell care Doe cast her power then can not preuaile When godly life and vertues very rare When they aduaunce what fickle fortune dare molest such one whom God in highest place hath set whose steps be guided by his grace Alecto lewd the hater of good hap when she perceiude dame fortunes feeble force Shee made about and spide a second gap wherein shee leapt O Pluto take remorse on vs she said with voice hollow and hoarce Shee sits thou sest in highest dignitie which doth destroy thy mightie monarchie The worlde thou knowest I all the worlde was thine Thy caues were cramd when heauen all emptie was Blinde ignorance that mighty mother mine shee ruld shee rainde she brought it so to passe That all was thine euen shee maintaind the masse And shee it was which gaue the triple crowne To him of Rome of more then * Ironi● muche renowme But now not from Apollos learned braine Out from the stocke of Mars is sprong a maide Who doth both him and thee and mee disdaine Thou sest by her thy kingdome is decayd Thou sest her force her fame can neuer fade True knowledge shortly so shall stuffe the heauen That all thy state shal stand at sixe and seuen Quoth Pluto tell my Metropolitan To no such end he hath his princely place Hee keepes the keyes his might may blisse or ban Yet dothe hee see and suffer this disgrace Tell him from mee I him and all his race will quite destroy except he doth pluck down All suche as bee rebellers to my crowne Thus did the Diuell with patience replie But whē the Pope had heard his princes minde His heauie hearte in raging wrath did frie In hast post hast a counsaile hee assignde Bals balling Priestes not only bald but blinde From euery coast in flockes like Coutes they came Thus spake the woolfe clad like a simple lambe My ghostly care with mercie mixt too muche Hath brought contempt cursing shall nowe preuaile This stubborne wretched wicked worlde is such Nowe punishment and whippes of bitter bayle They must and shall refourme I will not faile To plucke them downe with vengeance ruthfull reed Which doe denie mee to bee supreme head Haue I the power to curse to blisse to binde To lose to send to heauen or els to hel Or is this key and triple crowne assignde To me to suffer them thus to rebell No no I will subdue them very well To Fraunce to mightie Spaine to Italie I Britane giue Scotlande and Germanie Whose princes proud are fled from former faith And doe deuise to rob mee of the rest When as my state was at the hiest haigth Then happie he who with my toe was blest Then all was mine from the'st vnto the west Then on the backes of Emperours I trode Then who but I there was none other God But nowe alas I liue in lowe degree A woman doth mee and my might defie The Gospel nowe my mortall enemie By meanes of her is preacht both farre and nie As it reuiues so I your pope doe die As I do droupe so you your selues must mourne Looke well heereto before you be forlorne This carefull court in haste it did deuise It sent forth sectes it traytors did retaine Those rebels fled for feare which faine woulde rise It made them practise matters vilde and vaine Alectos Galathia did complayne Whome to aduaunce they haue they do and will On feeble fort such show their slender skill For as the seas do roare against the rocke In vaine and windes no mountaines maie remooue So there

and all her bande Doth heere resigne vnto thy worthie will Their worldly wit and all their learned skill Thy due desert hath thee Minerua made A goddesse great with whom none can compare For hee of

thy gaine Beholde these gods all readie to resigne The giftes for which they were eternized Receiue thou them because they be all thine Receiue also vnto thy heauenly head This Corronet this garlande garnished Not like thy minde with gifts of greatest price But as we coulde inricht with rare deuise Shee thus adornd with double dignitie They did of mortall her immortall make As thus shee sat amidst such maiestie The lookers on with louing feare did shake Her goodly grace did make the gods to quake The Muses then and all the people said thy due desert hath thee Minerua made And then the Queene with more then mortall grace The life quoth shee of euery liuing thing Must perish quite for death will it deface But death to death by due desert to bring Such death on earth is life euerlasting I knowe right well such immortalitie you haue obtainde and such remaines for me And then forth from the slender suttel skies All Angellike there did a shape appeare Euen as it is of ghosts deuine the gise A heauenly humane forme shee did on there And yet shee was as Tytans beames so cleare Immaculate not hauing spot of sinne All clad in white thus did her grace begin Within this worlde at last is one who hath inricht her name with euerlasting fame This Ladie only shee alone shee shall inioy the same the goddesses diuine and all the Muses ix to her they shall resigne Because the due desartes which them immortal made This Ladie hath obtaind her fame shall neuer fade Proceed my Muse assist thy seruaunt nowe Able his penne to publishe forth her praise Whose life is like dame Sinthias siluer rayse That mightie God of heauen Ioua great He doth permit his highnes doth alowe Vnto her grace all earthly blesse shall bowe And bide and bee at her commaundement With perfit blesse to beautifie her seate Euen for that cause Euthumia is sent With her this goddesse euermore shall stay Then thus bespake blessed Euthumia Goddesse of great accompt whose due desert doth farre surmount the peoples

Aglaia most like the morning starre that godesse next Euthumia did appeare none of the muses might with her compare muche like her selfe shee found Minerua there Suche beutie bountie personage and
