O Daughter take good heed, incline and give good ear: Thou must forsake thy kinred all, and fathers house most dear.

Then shall the King desire thy beauty fair and trim: For lo, he is the Lord thy God, and thou must worship him.

The daughters then of Tyre, with gifts full rich to see, And all the wealthy of the land•• shall make their suit to thee.

The daughter of the King••

is glorious to behold:
With inward glory glittering,
and deckt in beaten gold.

In robes of needle-work, and many a pleasant thing: With virgins fair on her to wait, she commeth to the King.

Thus are they brought with joy, and mirth on every side: Into the palace of King, and there they do abide.

In stead of parents left, (O Queen, the case so stands) Thou shalt have sons, whom thou maist set as Princes in the lands.

Wherefore thy holy Name, all ages shall record: The people shall give thanks to thee, for evermore, O Lord.
