Laura. The Toyes of a Traveller. Or. The Feast of Fancie - Part 2, 32

Both jemmes and pearles their proper value have,
But yet unlike, for not alike's their prise;
Some sought for are, and each one doth them crave,
Others (more base) doo passe in worthlesse wise.
A Juell rich and princelike Jemme is she
Whom I esteeme, and such account of make,
Yet in her selfe no price hath for to see,
For it is holden at so high a rate:
As all the gold nor silver which doth ly
In th'earth or sea, the same (at worth) can by.
