Elanor and Gabriel 2.

Most fitting name, faire Gabriel, you beare,
borne eke by that high Angell glorious bright:
angelick shines your vertue heauenly white,
as grace and kindness to all alike you share.
Your voice lyke angels song makes glad the ayre,
lyke musick shepheards heard that blessed night;
and eke your laugh makes al the earth delight
to hear beneath the Moone a sound so fayre.
Recall your namesake did glad tidings tel
the humble Virgin, now as Blessed knowne.
Such words of fauour bring to me as well;
loues blessing let this lowly maid be shown.
For excellent lyke you I long to be;
Such excellence as yours inspireth me.

Author notes

I'm not going to repeat here the background I gave for Elanor and Gabriel 1. I used a different rhyme scheme for this one. I think the first one is better than this one, and I'm pretty sure it's because I took a month to write the first one, but only a week to write the second.
