Sorrowfull Verses made on 〈◊〉 death of our most Soueraigne Lady Queene ELIZABETH , my Gracious Mistresse . ENGLAND may mourne , as many Kingdomes way A losse of late , that Gold nor Pearle redeemes , A gale of winde , that made Kings hoyse vp Sayles , When blustring blasts , brought Barkes in great extreeme● Her Realme shee rul'de , and bridled as GOD would , With Reasons raine , that holds backe Bayards bit , To purchase peace , payd massie summes of Gold , Did what 〈◊〉 might , to win a world with wit , Wised 〈…〉 ules Starres , clymes vp to Heauens gate , Makes Peace and Warres , and stayes a tottering State , Her insight saw , all outward flawes of winde , Her iudgement crept , into our cunning Age , No practize could , surpasse her Princely minde , Her calmie wordes , could swelling Sea asswage , Religion burnd , like Lampe in her bare brest , And for her faith , shee still set vp her rest , Shee gaue great things to thousands , world well knowes , As at well head , and Fountaine Water flowes . Caesars , sharpe Spirit , her speeches vttr'ed oft , Cyrus great power , and wealth she wanted not , Shee pluc't downe Pride , to set meeke hearts aloft , Her matchles deedes , great Fame and Glorie got , Opened her bagges , to such as suffered wrong , Much money lent , but felt the losse to long . Escap't bad men , that sought to shed her blood , Forgaue great faultes , to winne worldes loue and zeale : But when most safe , in health we thought shee stood , Her Ghost past hence , ( from Crowne and Common-weale ) To GODS high Throne , like Torch and Candle blaze , ( Lost earthly light ) and left vs in a maze . FINIS . T. Church-yard Esqu●●
This Phoenix dead , from her warme Cynders streight , Informe of Man , another Phoenix rose , Who clapt his wings , And flew vp such a height , ( So neere the Sunne ) that he GODS glorie showes .
