The First Fovre Bookes of Virgil his AEneis | ||
THREE ESPECIAL GIFTES, wherein his mystresse excelleth.
Three poincts my mystresse with passing dignitye garnish.Coomlynes of person thee first ranck rightlye reteigneth:
Curtesye keeps the Secund: thee third row Chastitye claymeth:
For so fayre a Paragon, with booxom deboynar vsadge;
And so pure a Virgin, with so rare vertue bedecked:
Sundrye may wel wish for. Marye must be the Principal holden.
