 | Pandora |  |
New kinde of verces deuised by him: and are a wofull kinde of meter, to sing a loue, or death in.
Like the dolefull birde languishing,the which dooth sing,
Her fatall song in sweete accordes,
Betaking her selfe to her death,
wearie of breath:
On Meander her florie bordes.
And euen so I, without hope that
it helpes me ought,
Bedew thy handes, heere with my teares:
For I perceiue by thy rigore,
that-to my dolore:
The Gods themselues haue stopt their eares.
Though speake Dian, what might thou meane,
by this extreame.
Fayre eyes: Doost thou thinke that when death,
hath tooke my breath:
That I will ende these cries of mine.
No, no, thou art deceiu'd for then,
my sprite agen,
Shall followe thee fro place to place,
Exclayming on thy crueltie,
voide of pittie. &c.
