Title: Anne Boleyn
Author: Thomas Moore [ More Titles by Moore]
TRANSLATION FROM THE METRICAL "_Histoire d'Anne Boleyn."_ "S'elle estoit belle et de taille elegante, Estoit des yeulx encor plus attirante, Lesquelz scavoit bien conduyre a propos En les lenant quelquefoys en repos; Aucune foys envoyant en message Porter du cueur le secret tesmoignage."
Much as her form seduced the sight, Her eyes could even more surely woo; And when and how to shoot their light Into men's hearts full well she knew. For sometimes in repose she hid Their rays beneath a downcast lid; And then again, with wakening air, Would send their sunny glances out, Like heralds of delight, to bear Her heart's sweet messages about.
