Daphnis

NOw Daphnis armes did grow
In slender branches, and her braided Haire,
Which like gold wa…s did flow,
In leavy Twigs were stretched in the Aire,
The grace of either foot
Transform'd was to a root,
A tender Barke enwraps her Body faire.
He who did cause her ill
Sore-wailing stood, and from his blubbered ey…e
Did show'rs of teares upon the rine distill,
Which water'd thus did bud and turne more green.
O deep despaire… O Heart-appalling Griefe,
When that doth woe encrease should bring reliefe.
