[1] [2] Which verses were also written in English mée|ter, in a lesse table as hereafter plainelie followeth:

Behold here in one view,

thou maist see all that plaine,

O princesse vnto this

thy people th'onlie staie:

What each where thou hast seene

in this wide towne, againe,

This one arch whatsoeuer

the rest conteind, dooth saie.

The first arch as true heire

vnto thy father deere, What the ar|ches signifie.

Did set thee in thy throne

where thy grandfather sat.

The second did confirme

thy seat as princesse heere,

Vertues now bearing swaie,

and vices bet downe flat.

The third, if that thou wouldst

go on as thou began,

Declared thee to be

blessed on euerie side.

The fourth did open truth,

and also taught thee whan

The commonweale stood well,

and when it did thence slide.

The fift, as Debora

declard thee to be sent

From heauen, a long comfort

to vs thy subiects all.

Therefore go on ô queene,

on whom our hope is bent,

And take with thee this wish

of thy towne as finall.

Liue long, and as long reigne,

adorning thy countrie

With vertues, and mainteine

thy peoples hope of thee.

For thus, thus heauen is woone,

thus must thou perse the skie,

This is by vertue wrought,

all other needs must die
