And euery pillour decked was full deare

With crownes and Diademes, and titles vaine,

Which mortall Princes wore, whiles they on earth did rayne.

A route of people there assembled were, xliv

Of euery sort and nation vnder skye,

Which with great vprore preaced to draw nere

To th’vpper part, where was aduaunced hye

A stately siege of soueraigne maiestye;

And thereon sat a woman gorgeous gay,

And richly clad in robes of royaltye,
