The gentle Lady, loose at randon left,
2 The greene-wood long did walke, and wander wide
At wilde aduenture, like a forlorne weft,

Straying alone withouten groome or guide;

And euery one as commune good her handeled.

He fainted, and was almost dead with feare,
8 Ne word he had to speake, his griefe to tell,
But to him l
