My heart is inditing of a good matter:
I speak of the things which I have made unto the King.
Kings daughters were among thy honourable women
Upon thy right hand did stand the Queen in vesture of gold
and the King shall have pleasure in thy beauty.
Kings shall be thy nursing fathers
and queens thy nursing mothers.
