[xliv] The vnkindnesse of Rora.

Whilst sighing forth his Wrongs,
In sweet, though dolefull Songs,
Alexis seekes to charme his Roras Eares,
The Hills are heard to mone,
To sigh each Spring appeares,
Trees, euen hard Trees, through Rine distill their Teares,
And soft growes euery Stone:
But Teares, Sighes, Songs, can not faire Rora moue,
Prowde of his Plaints shee glories in his Loue.
