- When as the tread of ſtranger feet ſhe heard,
- Eftſoons her eyes ſhe thitherwards enhaunc’d,
- Which as the glitterand ſun‐beam bright appear’d,
- And quicker than the quivering levin glaunc’d,
- And ſtrait toward them with light ſtep advaunc’d;
- Her holden‐tendrill’d locks down from her head
- Hung looſely, wav’ring as to them bechaunc’d,
- She never them confin’d in tye or brede,
- But they mos t comely ſeem’d, whan moſt diſhevelled.
