Girt with a crimson robe of brightest dye
Goes fair Samela
Whiter than be the flocks that straggling feed
When wash'd by Arethusa faint they lie
Is fair Samela
As fair Aurora in her morning grey
Deck'd with the ruddy glister of her love
Is fair Samela
Like lovely Thetis on a calmed day
Whenas her brightness Neptune's fancy move
Shines fair Samela
Her tresses gold, her eyes like glassy streams
Her teeth are pearl, the breasts are ivory
Of fair Samela
Her cheeks like rose and lily yield forth gleams
Her brows bright arches framed of ebony
Thus fair Samela
Passeth fair Venus in her bravest hue
And Juno in the show of majesty
For she 's Samela
Pallas in wit, all three, if you well view
For beauty, wit, and matchless dignity
Yield to Samela
