    Has clothed a lovely maid with blushes;
    A smile within his eyelids plays
    And into words his longing gushes.

Modest as morning when she coldly eyes
The youthful Phoebus,
Which is that god in office, guiding men?

His kindled duty kindled her mistrust,
That two red fires in both faces blazed.

To start into her face, a thousand innocent shames
In angel whiteness beat away those blushes,
And in her eye there hath appeared a fire
To burn the errors that these princes hold
Against her maiden truth.
