When first the sun whom all my senses serve, 
Began to shine upon this earthly round, 
The heavens for her all graces did reserve, 
That Pandor-like with all she might abound. 
Apollo placed his brightness in her eyes, 
His skill presaging and his music sweet. 
Mars gave his force; all force she now defies; 
Venus her smiles wherewith she Mars did meet; 
Python a voice, Diana made her chaste, 
Ceres gave plenty, Cupid lent his bow, 
Thetis his feet, there Pallas wisdom placed. 
With these she queen-like kept a world in awe. 
Yet all these honors deeméd are but pelf, 
For she is much more worthy of herself.
