Long since, it was by me desir'd,
To see that Queen so much admir'd;
But well I knew, t'was not for mee,
Great Princesses to goe to see.
But thraldomes key, did let me out,
And trouble brought my wish about,
By thraldome then I freedome gain'd,
By trouble my desire obtain'd.
I then did see her so admir'd,
And thy rich graces Lord inspir'd.
A minde so great and bravely beare,
What in the most breeds care and feare.
A spirit high so humble bee,
To deigne her sweet regards to me.
Her I admire, and for her pray
On earth she may live many a day:
And when this earth she shall forsake,
That into heaven, thou wouldst her take,
Where on a Throne she may be Crown'd,
And with bright Angels compast round.
