Bewties delite geve place to this fayer starr
loocke still one her, hur eyes will geve yow light
Ammiabel she is hur lovely fame goes farre
number her vertues and behould her sight
Compare her then to any that is livinge
hur bewety with ther bewty wilbe strivinge
wine colored cheke tournd to a cherye red

yeldes comfort to the eye that doth behould her
natur with hvr sweet bewty now is fedd
note but hur lyvely partes when you vnfould hur
And yow will saye that Venus shoud her coninge
And in hur face trve bewty sate a-soninge
Finis.
