Before I saw faire Pastorella dye.
Die? out alas![585] then Calidore did cry:
How could the death dare euer her to quell?
But read thou shepheard, read what destiny,
Or other dyrefull hap from heauen or hell
Hath wrought this wicked deed, doe feare away, and tell.
Tho when the shepheard breathed had a whyle, xxx
He thus began: Where[586] shall I then commence
This wofull tale? or how those Brigants vyle,
With cruell rage and dreadfull violence
