A Queen beyond Seas did Command Princes, Earles, and Nobles all, And ev'ry Subject in her Land, ev'ry heart, both great and small: [A]ll did wonder at her Beauty, Vertues, and each pleasing Grace, And each Beauty, thought 'twas Duty, to admire her Charming Face. A Winged Wag, by chance there came to the Pallace of the Queen, [(]Which gentle Lovers Cupid name) such an Archer ne'r was seen;
He straight took his Golden Bow, and drew from thence a Fatal Dart; Which ne'r misses, for with Wishes, he can wound the greatest Heart. He hit this Queen, for (Weladay) she on Cupid then did call, Yet Fancy'd no Man fine and Gay, only a gentle Cobler Tall: She that scorn'd a Princes Crown, and all her Nobles that did wait, Must now discover, though above her, the Cobler now must be her Mate,
A thousand thoughts perplex her Breast, [and] she Sighs in secret sore, At Night she cannot take her rest, she that knew no Love before: She oft try'd to check the Passion, but she found it was in vain, Love came to her, and did Wooe her, till she left off to complain. She then at last resolv'd to tell all her Nobles, that she'd chuse A Prince for her self that near did dwell, which she thought they would refuse: They proclaim'd her Praise and Fame, and vow'd to her their Loyalty, That they ever, would endeavor, for to please her Majesty. The Cobler then she sends for Post, while her Nobles wondring stand; (The Conquest Cupid well may boast) for to him she gave her Hand:
He amaz'd with Fear and Trouble, humbly falls down at her Feet, But at his Trouble, her Griefs double[,] till she gave him Kisses sweet. At length his Praises all they ring, and resolve for to Obey; And all the Courtiers Presents bring, deck'd in Gold and rich Array: For the Triumph of the Marriage, all are Summon'd to prepare, Then with Pleasure, and rich Treasure, all the Beauties shined there. A Princely Son in time they had, with a Daughter wondrous fair; That made the Realm and Nation glad, pleas'd and blest beyond compare: He enjoy'd his Father's Crown, and Reign[']d in Honour, Wealth & Peace[.] Thus the Story, is before ye, how his Glory did encrease.
