She passeth al in bountee and fairnesse,
Of maner ekë, and of gentilnesse.
For she is bothe the fairest and the beste,
To reken al in very sothfastnesse;
For every vertue is in her at reste;

And furthermore, to speke of stedfastnesse,
She is the rotë; and of seemlinesse
The very mirrour; and of governaunce
To al example, withouten variaunce.
