Out of the East, with flaming lockes bedight,

To tell that[418] dawning day is drawing[419] neare,

And to the world does bring long wished light;

So faire and fresh that Lady shewd her selfe in sight.

So faire and fresh, as freshest flowre in May; xxii

For she had layd her mournefull stole aside,

And widow-like sad wimple throwne away,

Wherewith her heauenly[420] beautie she did hide,

Whiles on her wearie iourney she did ride;

And on her now a garment she did weare,
