Pearles, rubies, saphires and the rest,

Of precious caskets, what’s your praise

When the diamond shows his rayes?

Ye warblinge chanters of the wood,

That fill the eares with nature’s laies,

Thinkinge your passions understood

By weaker accents, what’s your praise

When Philomell her voice doth raise?

Soe when my princesse shall bee seene,

In sweetness of her lookes and mynde,
