Queen ELIZABETH's Monument.

 

Reade but her Reign,     
This Princess might have been
For Wisdom call'd     
Nicaulis, Sheba's Queen.
Against Spain's Holofernes,     
Judith she,
Dauntless gain'd many     
a glorious Victory:
Not Deborah     
did her in Fame excel,
She was a Mother     
in our Israel.

An Hester, who     
her Person did ingage,
To save her People     
from the publick Strage;
Chaste Patroness     
of true Religion,
In Court a Saint,     
in Field an Amazon,
Glorious in Life,     
deplored in her Death,
She was unparallel'd
