But to this faire Belph{oe}be in her berth
2 The heauens so fauourable were and free,
Looking with myld aspect vpon the earth,
4 In th'Horoscope of her natiuitee,
That all the gifts of grace and chastitee

8 And Ph{oe}bus with faire beames did her adorne,
And all the Graces rockt her cradle being borne.
