All loued vertue, no man was affrayd

Of force, ne fraud in wight was to be found:

No warre was knowne, no dreadfull trompets sound,

Peace vniuersall rayn’d mongst men and beasts,

And all things freely grew out of the ground:

Iustice sate high ador’d with solemne feasts,

And to all people did diuide her dred beheasts.

Most sacred vertue she of all the rest, x

Resembling God in his imperiall might;

Whose soueraine powre is herein most exprest,
