CAROLUS-MARIA-STUARTE

anagramma

AU! VESTA, TRAC SOL, MARRY

Cheerly firme Vesta, clad in verdant Green,
Au! is an emblem of our glorious Queen;
Rendring a stable, fast, well knitted heart,
On our great Sol plac't, thence not to depart:
Likely a higher Goddesse cannot be,
Vesta like, ruling in her chastity,
Shining in vertues gracious increase.

Much glory hath this Vesta , but no peace
Au! doth to her true soul at all remain,
Returning till she doth her Sol retain;
In whom she doth delight, whom in her pace
Admiring she doth follow in true trace.

So Vesta traceth Sol , and did not tarry,
Till their united Graces they did M ARRY ,
Vertues conjoyned thus, Sol in his heat,
And Vesta in her chast, and plenteous great
Rare right increase, doth truly multiply,
Thrusting so forth a great posterity,
Ever to last unto eternity.
