And honour both; for each of other worthy are.

The royall Mayd woxe inly wondrous glad,
2 To heare her Loue so highly magnifide,
And ioyd that euer she affixed had,
4 Her hart on knight so goodly glorifide,
How euer finely she it faind to hide:
6 The louing mother, that nine monethes did beare,
In the deare closet of her painefull side,
8 Her tender babe, it seeing safe appeare,
Doth not so much reioyce, as she reioyced theare.
1 The royal maid waxed inly wondrous glad
waxed inly > grew inwardly
2 To hear her love so highly magnified,
