Where Thames doth the Medway wedd,
and feasts the Sea-gods all.
Bvt ah for pittie that I haue thus long i
Left a fayre Ladie languishing in payne:
Now well away[198], that I haue doen such wrong,
To let faire Florimell in bands remayne,
In bands of loue, and in sad thraldomes chayne;
From which vnlesse some heauenly powre her free
By miracle, not yet appearing playne,
She lenger yet is like captiu’d to bee:
