"And by the hande he held the noble quene, Corouned with whyte, & clothed al in grene, So womanly, so benigne, and so meke, That in this world, thogh that men wolde seke, Half hir beautee shulde men nat finde In creature that formed is by kinde, Hir name was Alceste the debonayre; I prey to God that ever falle she fayre!" (p. 418)
