And though her beautie were exceeding rare,
Yet Rome’s Lucretia for a sober eie
So far renown’d, with her might not compare,
Nor the Greekes constant queene Penelope,
Might match this maiden queene for modestie:
For Phœbe’s selfe did want her gouernance
In modest gesture and chaste countenance.

Thus heau’n and nature hauing shew’d their skill
In perfecting a creature so diuine,
