[Being likewise scornd in loue as well as I]
Being likewise scornd in loue as well as IBy that selfe-louing boy, which did disdaine
To heare hir after him for loue to crie,
For which in dens obscure she doth remaine:
Yet doth she answer to ech speech and voice,
And renders backe the last of what we speake,
(But 'specially if she might haue hir choice,
She of vnkindnes would hir talke foorth breake.)
She loues to heare of loues most sacred name,
Although poore nimph in loue she was despised;
And euer since she hides hir head for shame,
That hir true meaning was so lightly prised:
She pittying me, part of my woes doth beare,
As you good shepheards listning now shall heare.
