Shepherd, saw thou not my fair, lovely Phylis,
Walking on yon mountain, or in yonder plain?
She is gone this way to Dianae's fountain,
And hath left me wounded with her high disdain.
Ay, she is so far, and without compare:
Sorrow comes to sit with me.
Love is full of fear, love is full of care;
Love without this cannot be.
