I coulde nothyng beholde the goodlines

Of that palaice where as Doctrine did wonne;

Tyll at the last, with mysty wyndes donne,

The radiant bryghtnes of golden Phebus

Auster gan cover with clowde tenebrus.

Then to the tower I drewe nere and nere,

And often mused of the great hyghnes

Of the craggy rocke, whiche quadrant did appeare;

But the fayre tower so muche of ryches

Was all about sexangled doubtles,
