Au milieu de l'avril, entre les lys naquit

Son corps, qui de blancheur les lys mêmes vainquit ;

Et les roses, qui sont du sang d'Adonis teintes,

Furent par sa couleur de leur vermeil dépeintes.-RONSARD

What need ye hech! and how ! ladies?

What need ye how! for me?

Ye never saw grace at a graceless face;

Queen Mary has nane to gie.-The Queen's Marie
