Mayus, that sit with so benyngne a chiere, |
| Hire to biholde it semed fayerye. |
| Queene Ester looked nevere with swich an ye |
| On Assuer, so meke a look hath she. |
| I may yow nat devyse al hir beautee. |
| 535 | But thus muche of hire beautee telle I may, |
| That she was lyk the brighte morwe of May, |
| Fulfild of alle beautee and plesaunce. |

| 530 | Maia, she sat there with so gentle cheer, |
| To look at her it seemed like faery; |
| Queen Esther never looked with such an eye |
| Upon Ahasuerus, so meek was she. |
| I can't describe to you all her beauty; |
| 535 | But thus much of her beauty I can say, |
| That she was like the brightening morn of May, |
| Fulfilled of beauty and of all pleasance. |
