If once her ear should hearken to that voice,
Relates my fortunes in Love's fickle choice.
But now, I will, their worth with hers declare,
That Truth by Error may have her true being;
Things good are lessened by the thing that's rare.
Beauty increaseth by a blackness seeing.
Whoso is fair and chaste, they, sure, are best!
Such is Vitullia! such are all the rest!
"But she is fair, and chaste, and wise." What then,
So are they all, without a difference!
