Juno.
Saturnia. Great Queen of Gods.
Great matron of the Thunderer.
That chariots through the skies
By peacocks drawn stuck full of Argus eyes.
Heavens Queen. The Empresse of the skie.
Silver-arm'd goddesse. White-arm'd deity.
Saturnia that makes the white embrace.
The ivory fingerd Queen.
Drawn with a team of harnest peacocks,
With silken bridles in a coach of gold,
Lined with Estrich plumes. Shee
That shares with Joves imperial soveraignty,
Joves sister, and his wife. That kindles Hymens fires,
The Queen of marriage, and of chast desires.
Heavens great dame
That hath the charge to rule the nuptial flame.
In nuptial bands
That ties the hearts, and then the willing hands.
