VERSES OF THE QUEENES ARMES BEINGE THE THREE LYONS by ARTHUR GORGES

First Line: PERFECTIONS QUEENE, THESE LYONS THREE
Last Line: AND TRIPLE THRYCE YOUR JOYE.
Subject(s): ANNE OF DENMARK, QUEEN OF ENGLAND;
Perfections Queene, these Lyons three
Doe blaze your Royall steme;
As you by match with Majestie
Alye three Realmes to them.
Thus grac'de by the high Trinitie
You have enritcht the earth
With heavens-blest triple progenie
Of hope as great as birth.
Thrice fruitfull yeares may you befall
To rayse the lyne of Troye
Great Brittaines feilds to plant withall
And triple Thryce your Joye.
