Henry Constable - To Our Blessed Lady lyrics

In that (O Queen of queens) thy birth was free From guilt, which others doth of grace bereave When in their mothers' womb they life receive: God as his sole-borne daughter lovèd thee. To match thee like thy birth's nobility, He thee his spirit for thy spouse did leave: Of whom thou did'st his only son conceive, And so was linked to all the trinity. Cease then, O Queens who earthly crowns do wear To glory in the pomp of worldly things: If men such high respect unto you bear Which daughters, wives, & mothers are of kings; What honour should unto that Queen be done Who had your God for father, spouse, & son.
