In page Elizabeth Cromwell:

"

A miniature of Elizabeth was painted by Samuel Cooper, who described her as "neither uncomely or undignified in person."[citation needed] Other writers portrayed her as unattractive, including Abraham Cowley[citation needed] who, in his play The Cutter of Colman Street (1661), put the following passage into the mouth of Cutter: "He [Worm] would have been my lady Protectress's poet: he writ once a copy in praise of her beauty; but her Highness gave for it but an old half-crown piece in gold, which she had hoarded up before these troubles, and that discouraged him from any further applications to court." Cowley's reference to the hoarding of the half-crown piece also alluded to her supposed thriftiness.
