Calculation of the Nativitye of the Ladie Riches Daughter Borne Upon Friday in the Yeare 1588, Comonly Call'd the Yeare of Wonder, A. Sonet 6 -
Sonet 6.
Fayre by inheritance, whome borne we see
Both in the wondrous yeare, and on the day
Wherein the fayrest planet beareth sway,
The wonders loe of beautyes destinye.
Thow of a world of hearts in tyme shalt be
A monarch great, and with one beautyes ray
So many hosts of hearts thy face shall slay,
As all the rest for loue shall yeeld to thee.
But euen as Alexander, when he knew
His fathers conquests, wept, least he should leaue
No kingdome vnto him for to subdue,
Thy mother so shall thee of prayse bereaue.
So many hearts she hath alreadie slayne,
As few behinde to conquer, do remayne.
