Cease, then, O queens, who earthly crowns do wear,
To glory in the pomp of worldly things:
If men such high respect onto you bear
Which daughters, wives and mothers are of kings;
What honor should unto that Queen be done
Which had your God for Father, Spouse and Son?
Henry Constable: To Our Blessed Lady, Sonnet 1. (17th Century)
