Quote #10
[Claribell] found at last by very certaine signes,/ And speaking markes of passed monuments,/ That this young Mayd, whom chance to her presents/ Is her owne daughter, her owne infant deare./ Tho wondring long at those so straunge euents,/ A thousand times she her embraced nere/ With many a ioyfull kisse, and many a melting teare. (VI.xii.20)
