By muddy shore of broad seuen-mouthed Nile,

Vnweeting of the perillous wandring wayes,

Doth weepe full sore, and sheddeth tender teares:

The foolish man, that pitties all this while

His mournefull plight, is swallowd vp vnwares,

Forgetfull of his owne, that mindes anothers cares.

So wept Duessa vntill euentide, xix
