But that they were created both of old,

And each in his due time did fair display

Themselves in radiant locks more bright then gold,

Or silver sheen purg’d from all drossie clay.

But how they could themselves in this array

Expose to humane sight, who did before

Lie hid, is that which well amazen may

The wisest man and puzzle evermore:

Yet my unwearied thoughts this search could not give o’re.
