[The daughter of a king, of princelye partes]

The daughter of a king, of princelye partes,
In Beautie eminent, in Vertues cheife,
Load-starre of loue and load-stone of all Hartes,
Her freindes and Husbandes onlie Joy, now Griefe,
Enclosed lyes within this narrow Graue,
Whose Paragone no Tymes, no Climates haue.
