❧ A famous dittie of the Ioyful receauing of the Queens moste excellent maiestie , by the worthy Citizens of London the xij day of Nouember , 1584. at her graces comming to Saint Iames. To the tune of Wigmores Galliard . THe twelfe day of Nouember last , Elizabeth our noble Quéen : To Londen-warde she hied fast , which in the Cuntry long had béen The Citizens went then apace , on stately stéeds to méet her grace . In veluet coats and chaines of golde , moste gorgiously for to beholde . Each company in his degrée , stood orderly in good aray : To entertaine her maiesty , as she did passe along the way . And by each man did duly stand : a wayter with a torch in hand . Because it drue on toward night : along the way her grace to light . The people flocked there amain , The multitude was great to sée : Their Ioyful harts were glad and fain , to view her princely maiesty . Who at the length came riding by : within her chariot openly . Euen with a noble princely train : of Lords and Ladies of great fame . Her maiesty was glad to sée , her subiects in so good a case : Which then fell humbly on their knée , desiring God to saue her grace . And like a noble prince that day : for them in like sorte did she pray . And curteously she answered still : I thank you all for your good will . And bowing down on euery side , moste louingly vnto them all : A poor man at the length she spied , which down before her grace did fall . And curteously she then did stay to héer what he had then to say . To whome he did present anon , an humble supplication . Then plesantly she passed on , til she vnto Saint Iames came : And alwaies as she went along , , the people cri'd with might and main . O Lord preserue your noble Grace : and all your secret foes deface . God blesse and kéep our noble Quéen : whose like on earth was neuer séen . What Traitors hart can be so hard , to hurt or harme that princely flower : What wretch from grace is so debard , that can against her séem to lower . Which is the onely star of light : that doth amaze all princes sight . A moste renowned virgin Quéen , whose like on earth was neuer séen . The daughter of a noble King , desending of a royall race : Whose fame through all the world doth ring whose vertues shines in euery place . The Diamond of delight and ioy , which guides her cuntry from anoy . A moste renowned virgin Quéen : whose like on earth was neuer séen . The péerles pearle of Princes all , so ful of pitty , peace , and loue : Whose mercy is not proued small , when foule offendors doo her mooue . A Phenix of moste noble minde , vnto her subiects good and kinde . A moste renowned virgin Quéen : whose like on earth was neuer séen . The seruant of the mighty God , which dooth preserue her day and night : For whome we féel not of his rod , although the pope hath doon his spite . The chéef maintainer of his woord : wherein consists our heauenly food . O Lord preserue our noble Quéen : whose like on earth was neuer séen . And such as hollow harted be , partakers of the romish rout : Which thinketh mischéef secretly , the Lord wil suerly finde them out . And giue them their deseruings due : which to her grace is found vntrue . But Lord preserue our noble Quéen : whose like on earth was neuer séen . In many dangers hath she béen , but God was euermore her guide : He wil not sée our gratious Quéen , to suffer harme through traitors pride . But euery one which sought her fall , the Lord did stil confound them all . And such as thought her life to spill : them felues moste desperately did kil . And euery traitor in this land , Whose wicked thoughts are yet vnknown The Lord consume them out of hand , before they be more riper grown . Whose harts are set with one accord : against th' annointed of the Lord . But God preserue our noble Quéen : whose like on earth was neuer séen . Lord send her long and happy daies , in England for to rule and raigne : Gods glory euermore to raise , true Iustice alwaies to maintain . Which now these six and twenty yéers , so royally with vs appéers . O Lord preserue our noble Quéen : whose like on earth was neuer séen . FINIS . Richard . Harrington .
