Rhyme Scheme: A BABABCBC DEFE GHGI

Written for quot The Pageant of Parliament quotA
-
-
Like Princes crowned they bore themB
Like Demi Gods they wroughtA
When the New World lay before themB
In headlong fact and thoughtA
Fate and their foemen proved themB
Above all meed of praiseC
And Gloriana loved themB
And Shakespeare wrote them playsC
-
Now Valour Youth and Life's delight break forthD
In flames of wondrous deed and thought sublimeE
Lightly to mould new worlds or lightly looseF
Words that shall shake and shape all after timeE
-
Giants with giants wits with wits engageG
And England England England takes the breathH
Of morning body and soul till the great AgeG
Fulfills in one great chord ElizabethI
