John Skelton on Women
← Back to John Skelton Profile
“By saynt Mary, my lady, Your mammy and your dady Brought forth a godely babi!”
“Far may be sought Erst that ye can fynde So corteise, so kynde As mirry Margarete, This midsomer flowre, Jentyll as fawcoun Or hawke of the towre.”
“She is the vyolet, The daysy delectable, The columbine commendable, The jelofer amyable; For this most goodly floure, This blossom of fressh colour, So Jupiter me succour, She florysheth new and new In beaute and vertew.”
