Elissa (so the eldest hight) did deeme
2 Such entertainment base, ne ought would eat,
Ne ought would speake, but euermore did seeme
4 As discontent for want of merth or meat;
No solace could her Paramour intreat

But with bent lowring browes, as she would threat,
8 She scould, and frownd with froward countenaunce,
Vnworthy of faire Ladies comely gouernaunce.
