And did in stocke of earthly flesh enrace,

That mortall men her glory should admire:[990]

In gentle Ladies brest, and bounteous race

Of woman kind it fairest flowre doth spire,

And beareth fruit of honour and all chast desire.

Faire ympes of beautie, whose bright shining beames liii

Adorne the world with like to heauenly light,

And to your willes both royalties and Realmes[991]

Subdew, through conquest of your wondrous might,

With this faire flowre your goodly girlonds dight,
