A Lady Dressed By Youth

Her hair was curls of Pleasure and Delight,

Which on her brow did cast a glistening light.

As lace her bashful eyelids downward hung:

A modest countenance o'er her face was flung:

Blushes, as coral beads, she strung to wear

About her neck, and pendants for each ear:

Her gown was by Proportion cut and made,

With veins embroidered, with complexion laid,

Rich jewels of pure honor she did wear,

By noble actions brightened everywhere:

Thus dressed, to Fame's great court straightways she went,

To dance a brawl with Youth, Love, Mirth, Content.
