That summum bonum, which this life could giue.

In th’happie horoscope of her sweet birth,

Both heauen and nature seemed to consent

With fortune’s selfe t’augment their fame on earth,

Each one in hope to perfect their intent,

By this queene virgin and her gouernment,

And 'mongst themselues, they seemed to contend,

Who should to her the greatest gifts extend.
