[T]o ſelect among ten thouſand faires, / A Lady farre inferior to the moſt, / In faire proportion both of limbe and ſoule: / To take her from auſterer check of parents, / To make her his by moſt deuoutfull rightes, / Make her commandreſſe of a better eſſence / Then is the gorgious world even of a man.
