No sooner did this empire’s royall crowne
Begirt the temples of her princelie hed;
But that Ioue-borne Astrea straight came downe
From highest heauen againe, to which in dread
Of earth’s impietie before shee fled:
Well did shee know, Elizae’s happie reigne
Would then renew the golden age againe.

The heau’ns did smile on her with sweet delight,
And thundering Ioue did laugh her foes to scorne,
