Eructauit cor meum. Psal.45
MY heart is inditing of a good matter: I speake of the things which I haue made vnto the King.
My tongue is the pen: of a readie writer.
Thou art fairer then the children of men: full of grace are thy lips, because God hath blessed thee for euer.
Girde thee with thy sworde vpon thy thigh, O thou most mightie: according to the woship and renowme.
Good lucke haue thou with thine honour: ride on, because of the word of trueth, of meekenesse, and righteousnesse, and thy right hand shall teach thee terrible things.
The arrowes are very sharpe, and the people shalbe sub∣dued vnto thee: euen in the middes among the Kings ene∣mies.
Thy seate (O God) endureth for euer: the scepter of thy kingdome is a right scepter.
Thou hast loued righteousnes, and hated iniquity: where∣fore God, (euen thy God) hath anointed thee with the oyle of gladnesse aboue thy fellowes.
All thy garments smell of Myrrhe, Aloes, and Cassia: out of the Iuory palaces, whereby they haue made thee glad.
Kings daughters were among thy honourable Women: vpon thy right hand did stand the Queene in a vesture of gold (wrought about with diuers colours.)
Hearken (O Daughter) and consider, encline thine eare: forget also thine owne people, and thy fathers house.
So shall the King haue pleasure in thy beauty: for hee is thy Lord (God) and Worship thou him.
And the daughter of Tyre shalbe there with a gift: like as the rich also among the people shall make their supplication before thee.
The Kings daughter is all glorious within: her clothing is of wrought gold.
Shee shalbe brought vnto the king in a rayment of needle worke: the virgins that be her fellowes shall beare her com∣panie, and shalbe brought vnto thee.
With ioy and gladnesse shall they bee brought: and shall Page [unnumbered] enter into the Kings palace.
In stead of thy fathers thou shall haue children: whome thou mayest make princes in all lands.
I Will remember thy name from one generation vnto an∣other: therfore shall the people giue thanks vnto thee, world without ende.
