Who Is Tokollo

Who is Tokollo ?
what is he ?

That all our swains commend him ?
holy,smart and ravishing is he;
the heaven such grace did lend him,
that he might be admired be.

Is he fair as he is holy ?
for beauty lives with holiness;
love doth to his eyes repair,
to help him with his poems
and,being help'd,inhabits there.

Then to Tokollo let us sing,
that Tokollo is excelling;
he excels each mortal thing,
upon the dull earth dwelling:
to him let us garlands bring.
