A REASONABLE AFFLICTION (2) by MATTHEW PRIOR

First Line: FROM HER OWN NATIVE FRANCE AS OLD ALISON PAST
Last Line: HER LADY'S COMPLEXION AND EYE-BROWS AT CALAIS.
FROM her own native France as old Alison past,
She reproached English Nell with neglect or with malice,
That the slattern had left, in the hurry and haste,
Her lady's complexion and eye-brows at Calais.
