| 15 | Heaven and our Lady gracious hath it pleased | ||
| 16 | To shine on my contemptible estate: | ||
| 17 | Lo, whilst I waited on my tender lambs, | ||
| 18 | And to sun's parching heat display'd my cheeks, | ||
| 19 | God's mother deigned to appear to me | ||
| 20 | And in a vision full of majesty | ||
| 21 | Will'd me to leave my base vocation | ||
| 22 | And free my country from calamity: | ||
| 23 | Her aid she promised and assured success: | ||
| 24 | In complete glory she reveal'd herself; | ||
| 25 | And, whereas I was black and swart before, | ||
| 26 | With those clear rays which she infused on me | ||
| 27 | That beauty am I bless'd with which you see. | ||
| 28 | Ask me what question thou canst possible, | ||
| 29 | And I will answer unpremeditated: | ||
| 30 | My courage try by combat, if thou darest, | ||
| 14 | 31 | And thou shalt find that I exceed my sex. | And thou shalt find that I exceed my sex. |
| 32 | Resolve on this, thou shalt be fortunate, | ||
| 33 | If thou receive me for thy warlike mate. |
