The Raynbowe bending in the skye,Bedeckte with sundrye hewes,Is lyke the seate of God on hye,And seemes to tell these newes:That as thereby he promised,To drowne the worlde no more,So by the bloud whiche Christe hath shead,He will oure health restore.
George Gascoigne, Edward De Vere Oxford (Earl of), Sir Christopher Hatton (1926). “A Hundredth sundrie flowres: from the original edition”
