In ANNA regnantium arbor: To the thrice-vertvous, and fairest of Queenes, Anne Queene of great Britaine

AN Oliue lo, with braunches faire dispred,
Whose top doth seeme to peirce the azure skie,
Much seeming to disdaine, with loftie head
The Cedar, and those Pines of THESSALIE,
Fairest of Queenes, thou art thy selfe the Tree,
The fruite thy children, hopefull Princes three.

Which thus I ghesse, shall with their outstrecht armes,
In time o'respread Europa's continent,
To shield and shade, the innocent from harmes,
But overtop the proud and insolent:
Remaining, raigning, in their glories greene,
While man on earth, or Moone in heauen is seene.
