My heart is mou'd to vtter some good thinge, Which I entend to offer to the kinge. My tougue shall bee the pen, and swiftly write What in my heart deuotion doth endite. Fairest of men, whose lipps with grace abound, Whom with eternall blessings God hath crown'd; Gird Thy sharp sword vpon Thine armèd thigh, And shew Thyselfe in power and MAJESTIE. Ride on with Thy great honnour prosperously, Raigne and trihumph, and bee Thou mounted high, Borne vp with justice, truth and meeknes' wings: And Thy right hand shall teach Thee dreadfull things; Thine arrowes sharpe, shall make Thy foes to fall, Which Thou shalt shoote and peirce their hearts withall. Eternall is Thy judgement-seat O God! Thy scepter is a true directinge rod; Right hast Thou lou'd and loth'st vnrighteousnes, And therefore GOD Thy GOD Who doth Thee blesse, Hath powr'd on Thee O PRINCE OF PRINCES best, More oyle of gladnes then on all the rest: Thy garments, which Thy person shall aray, Brought out of Iuory wardrobes where they lay, Of MYRRH, of ALLOES, and of CASHA smell; Which odours doe refresh and please Thee well. The queene, all cladd in gould at Thy right hand, Daughters of Kings attendinge her, shall stand. Attend faire daughter, listen and giue eare, Forgett thy father's house and Cuntry deare. Soe shall the Kinge take pleasure in thy beautie; Hee is thy Lord, yield Him both loue and duty. The TYRIAN virgins shall bringe guifts to thee, And MERCHANTS rich, thy suppliants shall bee. The daughter of the Kinge is rich without, Her gownes embroidered all with gould about; And yet within, shee is more glorious farr, The jewells of her minde more precious are. In finest dressinge, with the needle wrought, Shee with her fellow virgins shall bee brought. They shall with joy, O Kinge bee brought to Thee, And in Thy princely COURTE receauvèd bee. Thou in thy father's stead, O Bride shall gaine Sonnes, which in sundry PROUINCES shall raigne. Thee Lord, will I remember, all my dayes, And all the world shall giue Thee endlesse praise. PSALM XLVI.
