Epig. XVII. In Pedes.

[_]

Humilitas.

Low at the feet Humilitie doth rest;
Yet is a vertue equall to the best.
As the feetes feature, those two pretie bases,
That glorious creature woman no lesse graces,
Then any part of all that goodly frame,
Nor lesse doth please the eye that sees the same:
So her Humilitie, which heere I place,
Lowest of all with heauen's in highest grace.
