My shape, some sayde, was seemely to ech sight,

My countenaunce did shew a sober grace,

Mine eyes in lookes were neuer proued light,

My tongue in words was[1976] chast in euery case:

Mine eares were deafe and would no louers place,

Saue that, alas, a prince did blot my browe,

Loe, there the strong did make the weake to bowe.

The maiesty that kings to people beare,

The stately port, the awefull cheere they showe,
