My Queene and wife, my ioy and life in whom I minde: In euery part, the trustiest hart, that man can finde. Tantara tara tantara, me thinks I heare your praise, Your vertues race in euerie place, which trumpet so doth raise. Tantara tara tantara, &c.

Now welcome home to Siria soile, from battered field: That valiantly thy foes did foile, with speare and shield: Tantara tara tantara, me thinks I heare it still, Thy sounding praise, abroad to raise, with trump that is most shrill, Tantara tara tantara, &c.

If honour and fame, O noble Dame, such deeds do aske: Then Diophon here to purchase fame, hath done this taske: Tantara tara tantara, returnd he is againe, To leade his life, with thee his wife, in ioie without disdaine. Tantara tara tantara, &c.
