ee her smocke betweene the distance of
one Pearle from an other, couering her daintie soft snowye thinne
skinne: except her small necke and the vpper halfe of her spatious and
delitious breast, more desired and contenting mine eyes, then the water
brookes and coole Ryuers to the emboste and chased Hart, more pleasing
then the fisher boate of _Endimion_ to _Cynthia_, and more pleasant then
_Cithera_ to _Orpheus_.

The sleeues of her smocke of a conuenient largenesse, and about her
wristes plighted and tyed with Bracelets of Golde, double and vnited
with Orient Pearle. And besides all her ornaments and gracious gestures,
she indeuoured nowe and then with stolen and affected regards, in a
sweet & pleasant sort, to cast down her eyes vpon her little round
swelling breastes, impatient at the suppressing of her soft and fine
apparell: so as I iudged vppon good consideration, and thought that in
the dignitie and honourable frame of her personage, the Creator had
framed and vnited together, all the violence of Loue. The foure Nourses
of the royall Kingdome of Babilon, called _The tongue of the Gods_, had
not that powre to winne fauour and loue of the King, which this most
sweet Nymph had.

About her fayre Necke, more white then the Scithian snowe, shee wore a
Carkenet of Oryent Pearle: _Cerna_ the wife of _C[ae]sar_ neuer had the
like, and I doubt me that that of _Eriphile_, which she tooke to
_Amphiaraus_, was nothing comparable vnto it. And in the bending downe
ouer the deuision of her breastes, betwixt two great Pearles, there was
laced a corruscant rounde Rubie, and vppon the collaterate sides of the
sayde Pearles, two glistering Saphires, and two Pearles, next them two
Emeraldes, & two Pearles, and after them two fayre Iacinthes: all these
Pearles and Stones were laced in a worke in losenges, in a rare and
beautifull manner.

Her fayre heade, sending downe and vnfolding a loose spreading abroade
of plentifull hayre, like the smallest threds of golde, wauing with the
winde, and vpon her crowne, a garland of tawny vyolets sweetly smelling,
and couering the same almost to her forheade: from the middle vpper
point whereof, in forme of two Hemycycles to the halfe of her eares, it
mounted vppe in curled trammelles, falling downe againe vppon her fayre
Temples, moueably wauing and shaddowing the same, and hyding the vpper
halfe of her small eares, more fayre then euer was reported of
_Mimoria_.

The rest of her yellowe haire
