For certain he hath seen all perfectnessFor certain he hath seen all perfectness. Who among other ladies hath seen mine: They that go with her humbly should combine To thank their God for such peculiar grace.

From all her acts such lovely graces flow That truly one may never think of her Without a passion of exceeding love.
