On Ye Queens Death

The Persians us'd at setting of ye sunn To howl, as if he nere again should runn They onely acted it but we indeed Must doot for all that lovely was is fled all that was great good Just & vertuous Dead. The poets of ye graces do relate that they did upon none but Venus wait 'Tis false or this was she for in each eye of hers ten thousand graces you might spy So many her vertues were Death heard ym told Mistook ye for her dayes & thought her old yet she is gone all that was lovely fled, all that was great good Just & vertuous dead When Romulus was taken to ye gods & Ceesar mounted to ye blest abodes in floods & earth-quakes nature Largely grievd for these her Heroes heaven had receivd She wept indeed then now she cannot weep the stillness of ye waves but shows ye deep the greatness of ye Loss putts all her faculties asleep.
