And thus began his song:

‘Restore, restore my heart again,

Which thy sweet looks have slain,

Lest that, enforced by your disdain, I sing,

Fye! fye on love! It is a foolish thing!

“‘Since love and fortune will, I honour still

Your dark and shining eye;

64

What conquest will it be, sweet nymph, to thee,

If I for sorrow die?
