_quae rara, cara_: what is scarce is esteemed or becomes
estimable. In other words, her very coyness serves to increase
his desire)

2 Till weary of their way, they came at last,
Where grew two goodly trees, that faire did spred
4 Their armes abroad, with gray mosse ouercast,
And their greene leaues trembling with euery blast,
