Shalt thou be warned, said a voice, seest fair is thyself.<br />
Even now I will bring thee where no shadow staies<br />
Even to him whose image thou art, <strong>and</strong> thou shalt enjoy,<br />
Sleeping now under a platan. Thir I bring thee.<br />
His flesh, his bone thou art. And Eve saw how manly grace<br />
Excelld with wisdom which alone bound with<br />
Reason should far exceed all other virtues.<br />
So sojourned our general Mother with gentle<br />
Eyes of conjugal attraction <strong>and</strong> meek surrender.<br />
Love smiled under the flowing gold of her tresses<br />
Finding substantial love to have him <strong>by</strong> her side.<br />
