For he, perhaps in his determination to please the ruler, labored over the likeness to the best of his skill;
who, perhaps in his eagerness to please his ruler, used all his skill to depict him in the most favorable way;
For he, perhaps wishing to please his ruler, skilfully forced the likeness to take more beautiful form,
For he, perhaps wishing to please his ruler, skilfully forced the likeness to take more beautiful form,
For he, perhaps wishing to please his ruler, skillfully forced the likeness to take more beautiful form,

For he, perhaps wishing to please his ruler, skilfully forced the likeness to take more beautiful form,
For he, perhaps wishing to please his ruler, skilfully forced the likeness to take more beautiful form,
For he willing (or desiring) more to please the king, that took him, that is, chose him to make an image to (or of) the king, travailed perfectly by his craft, to make a likeness into better, that is, in making the king (appear) fairer. [He forsooth willing more to please to him, that him took, travailed out by his craft, that the likeness into better he should figure.]
