For I assure you all, that beside her noble parentage of the which she is descended (as you well know) she is a woman of most gentleness, of most humility and buxomness, yea and of all good qualities appertaining to nobility, she is without comparison as I this twenty years almost have had the true experiment, so that if I were to marry again, if the marriage might be good, I would surely chose her above all other women.
