The martiall Mayd stayd not him to lament,
2 But forward rode, and kept her readie way
Along the strond, which as she ouer-went,
4 She saw bestrowed all with rich aray
Of pearles and pretious stones of great assay,
6 And all the grauell mixt with golden owre;
Whereat she wondred much, but would not stay
8 For gold, or perles, or pretious stones an howre,
But them despised all; for all was in her powre.
