IN INSIGNIA SERENISSIMAE Elizabethae Dei Gratiâ Angliae, Franciae, & Hiberniae, Reginae, foreign.
LIlia quae tria fers triplici diviſa leone
Bis: Regina potens, vivito Eliſa diu.
Praeſidium tu dulce Scoto es: Tu que anchora Belgae es:
Floret & auſpicio Gallia magna tuo.
Hiſpano metuenda truci, metuenda que Papae:
Ast Phoenix Anglo, Gemma que rara tuo es.
Militat ecce tibi duplici roſa tincta colore,
Lacte hinc depingens, murice at inde comam.
Dextera te Domini ſemper tueatur, ab omni
Liberet hoſtili, ſanguinea que manu.
His malè ſit, malè qui cupiunt tibi, Regia virgo:
His benè, qui cupiunt ſingula ſalva tibi.
Thomas Holland.
