English text
- 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.
- After Psalm 45: 1, 10, 12 and Isaiah 49:23
