Thenceforth the feather in her loftie crest,
2 Ruffed of loue, gan lowly to auaile,
And her proud portance, and her princely gest,
4 With which she earst tryumphed, now did quaile:
Sad, solemne, sowre, and full of fancies fraile

She wist not, silly Mayd, what she did aile,
8 Yet wist, she was not well at ease perdy,
Yet thought it was not loue, but some melancholy.

And reft from men the worlds desired vew,

But sleepe full farre away from her did fly:
6 In stead thereof sad sighes, and sorrowes deepe
Kept watch and ward about her warily,
8 That nought she did but wayle, and often steepe
Her daintie couch with teares, which closely she did weepe.
