| | | WHITEGIFT, whom gratious honour entertaines, | |
| Welcome as to the yeare the gladsome May; | |
| Welcome as is the morning to the day; | |
| Welcome as sleepe vnto the weary swaynes: | |
| The fayre Elisa white with heauenly praises | 5 |
| The God’s white church adorned doth set forth, | |
| The all white meaning and excellent worth: | |
| The vertue white aboue all honour raises. | |
| Yet let my pen present this little storie | |
| Vnto the endlesse volume of thy glorie. | 10 | | | |
