Tempers her words to trampling horses’ feet,

More oft than to a chamber melody;

Now, blessed you, bear onward blessed me,

To her, where I my heart, safe left, shall meet;

My Muse and I must you of duty greet

With thanks and wishes; wishing thankfully—

Be you still fair, honour’d by public heed;

By no encroachment wrong’d, nor time forgot;

Nor blamed for blood, nor shamed for sinful deed;

And that you know, I envy you no lot
