    At length her grace rose and with modest paces
    Came to the altar, where she kneeled, and saint-like
    Cast her fair eyes to heaven and prayed devoutly;
    Then rose again and bowed her to the people;
    When by the Archbishop of Canterbury
    She had all the royal makings of a queen,
    As holy oil, Edward Confessor's crown,
    The rod, and bird of peace, and all such emblems
    Laid nobly on her; which performed, the choir
    With all the choicest music of the kingdom
    Together sung 'Te Deum.' So she parted
    And with the same full state packed back again
    To York Place, where the feast is held.

And with the saints, a saint.
