WELCOME, Maids of Honour!
You do bring
In the Spring,
And wait upon her.
She has Virgins many,
Fresh and fair;
Yet you are
More sweet than any.
Ye are the Maiden Posies, / And so graced / To be placed / 'Fore damask roses.
But, though thus respected, / By and by / Ye do lie, / Poor girls, neglected.
