"Hir haire unkembd about hir necke downe flaring did he see, "O Lord and were they trimd" (quoth he) "how seemely would she bee?" He sees hir eyes as bright as fire the starres to represent, He sees hir mouth which to have seene he holdes him not content. Hir lillie armes mid part and more above the elbow bare, Hir handes, hir fingers and hir wrystes, him thought of beautie rare. And sure he thought such other parts as garments then did hyde, Excelled greatly all the rest the which he had espyde."
