That fairer was then is the brighte sonne,

This noble toun of Cartage hath begonne;

In which she regneth in so greet honour,

That she was holde of alle quenes flour,

1010

Of gentilesse, of [freedom], of beautee;

That wel was him that mighte her ones see;

[Of] kinges and of lordes so desyred,

(90)

That al the world her beaute hadde y-fyred;
