Her figure measured five feet in height; her breasts were firm

and upright; her cheek a very garden of delight; her colour

lively bright; her face gleamed like dawn through curly tresses

which gloomed like night, and above the snows of her bosom

glittered teeth of a pearly white.[FN#206] As the poet said of

one like her:-

Slim waisted loveling jetty hair encrowned * A wand of willow on

a sandy mound:

And as saith another.-

Four things that meet not, save they here unite * To shed my

heart blood and to rape my sprite: Brilliantest forehead; tresses

jetty bright; * Cheeks rosy red and stature beauty dight.
