To the Queen by the players (c. 1599)
by William Shakespeare
sister projects: Wikipedia article.
The poem was attributed to Shakespeare by William Ringler and Steven May, who
discovered it in 1972 in the notebook of a man called Henry Stanford, who is
known to have worked in the household of the Lord Chamberlain. Other scholars
have accepted the attribution, including James S. Shapiro and Jonathan Bate.[1]
Its attribution to Shakespeare has, however, been contested by Michael Hattaway,

Helen Hackett and others.[2]
As the dial hand tells o'er
The same hours it had before,
Still beginning in the ending,
Circular account still lending,
So, most mighty Queen we pray,
Like the dial day by day
You may lead the seasons on,
Making new when old are gone,
That the babe which now is young
And hath yet no use of tongue
Many a Shrovetide here may bow
To that empress I do now,
That the children of these lords,
Sitting at your council boards,
May be grave and aged seen
Of her that was their fathers' queen.
Once I wish this wish again,
Heaven subscribe it with "Amen".
