[XI. When to the gloomie woods]

When to the gloomie woods

When to the gloomie woods, When to the barren plaine, When to the stony rocks and sullen floods, I wayling often goe, and of my Loue complaine, How senceles then thinke I, By loue I grow, To senceles things that tell my woe? Yet these my piercing moanes, haue touched oft so nye, That they to me replie, But cruell, cruell she, More senceles then hard stones, Quite senceles of my paine, No answer giues, Vnmoued still remaines.
