Last words o'th' Song were these,
This World abounds in Care and Strife,
Best suits my Thoughts the Virgin-life.

Best suits my Thoughts the Virgin-life.
By which Orsamnes plainly did conclude
She was a Maid, or th' Tongue did much delude,
Air lastly upon the Lute, in which her Hand
Did nimbler way, more sweet the strings command;
