SONNET 3.

Fair fruitfull Daughter of th' Omnipotent,
Great Vmpire that doost either World sustain,
Without whose help all would return again
(Like hideous Chaos) to confusion bent.
O Mother of the living, second Nature
Of th' Elements (Fire, Water, Earth, and Air)
O Grace (whereby men climbe th' heav'nly stair)
Whence void, this world harbors no happy creature.
Pillar of Lawes, Religions pedestall,
Hope of the godly, glory of th' Immortall;
Honour of Cities, Pearl of Kingdomes all;
Thou Nurse of Vertues, Muses chief supportall;
Patron of Artes, of Good the speciall spring:
All hail (deer Peace) which vs all heale doost bring.
