To Mistress Margery Wentworth -2

With margerain gentle,
The flower of goodlihead,
Embroidered the mantle
Is of your maidenhead.
Plainly I cannot glose;
Ye be, as I divine, 
The pretty primrose,
The goodly columbine. 

Benign, courteous, and meek,
With wordes well devised; 
In you, who list to seek,
Be virtues well comprised.
With margerain gentle, 
The flower of goodlihead,
Embroidered the mantle
Is of your maidenhead.
