<<Psalm 125 trans Mary Sidney, lines 1 to 4
As Zion standeth VERy firmely steadfast
NeVER once SHAKing: so on high Jehovah
Who his hope buildeth, VERy firmly abideth
EVER abideth
A VER on every line.
She translates two Psalms 111 and 117 as acrostics.
Unfortunately I don't think there's an original spelling version online.

appeare of the same purity, the Authour himselfe then
living avouched ; they had not the fortune by reason of
their Infancie in his death to have the due accomodatio of
proportionable glory with the rest of his *EVER-living*
Workes, yet the lines of themselves WILL afFORD you a
more authentick approbation than my assurance any way can,
to invite your allowance, in your perusall you shall find them
Seren, cleere and eligantly plaine, such gentle straines as shall
recreate and not perplexe your braine, no intricate or cloudy stuffe
to puzzell intellect, but perfect eloquence ; such as will raise your
admiration to his praise: this assurance I know will not differ from
your acknowledgment. And certaine I am, my opinion will be seconded
by the sufficiency of these ensuing lines ; I have beene somewhat
solicitus to bring this forth to the perfect view of all men ;
and in so doing glad to be serviceable for the continuance
of glory to the *DEsERVEd Author* in these his Poems.
