MOst happy
letters fram'd by skilfull trade,
with which that
happy name was first defynd:
the which three times
thrise happy hath me made,
with guifts of body,
fortune and of mind.
The first my being to me gaue
by kind,
from mothers womb deriu'd by dew descent,
the second is my souereigne Queene most kind,
that honour and large richesse to me lent.
The third
my loue, my liues last ornament,
by whom my spirit
out of dust was raysed:
to speake her prayse and
glory excellent,
of all aliue most worthy to be
praysed.
Ye three Elizabeths for euer liue,
that
three such graces did vnto me giue.
