On a brede of divers colours woven by foure Ladies.

TWice twenty slender virgin fingers twine This curious web, where all their fancies shine: As nature them, so they this shade have wrought, Soft as their hands, and various as their thought: Not Juno's bird, when his faire traine dispred Hee woes the female to his painted bed; No not the Bow which so adornes the skyes, So glorious is, or boasts so many dyes.
