As faint through heat, or dight to pleasant sin,

And was arayd, or rather disarayd,

All in a vele of silke and siluer thin,

That hid no whit her alablaster skin,

But rather shewd more white, if more might bee:

More subtile web Arachne cannot spin,

Nor the fine nets, which oft we wouen see

Of scorched deaw, do not in th’aire more lightly flee.

Her snowy brest was bare to readie spoyle lxxviii

Of hungry eies, which n’ote therewith be fild,
