For, with a veile that wimpled euery where,
Her head and face was hid, that mote to none appeare.
That some doe say was so by skill deuized, vi
To hide the terror of her vncouth hew,
From mortall eyes that should be sore agrized;
For that her face did like a Lion shew,
That eye of wight could not indure to view:
But others tell that it so beautious was,
And round about such beames of splendor threw,
That it the Sunne a thousand times did pass,
