CII

  "I, who this cause take on me to defend,

  Say (whether fairer or less fair I be)

  I came not as a woman, nor intend

  That now mine actions shall be womanly.

  But, saving I undress, who shall pretend

  To say I am or am not such as she?

  Neither should aught be said but what we know,

  And least of all what works another woe.
