| | | THEN from her fled my hart in sorrow wrapped. | |
| Like vnto one that shund pursuing slaughter: | |
| All welnigh breathles told me what had happed, | |
| How both in Court and countrie he had fought her. | |
| The drerie teares of many loue repenting, | 5 |
| Corriuals in my loue whom fancie stroked; | |
| Partners in loue and partners in lamenting, | |
| My fellow thralls whose necks as mine were yoked. | |
| The shepheards praises and their harts amis, | |
| Vrged by my Mistres ouerweening pride; | 10 |
| For none that sees her but captiued is, | |
| And last he told which to my hart did glide; | |
| How all the teares I spent were vaine and forceles, | |
| For shee in hart had vowd to be remorceles. | | | | |
