Would quite haue burst through great abundance[231] of her smart.

All which complaint when Marinell had heard, xii

And vnderstood the cause of all her care

To come of him, for vsing her so hard,

His stubborne heart, that neuer felt misfare

Was toucht with soft remorse and pitty rare;

That euen for griefe of minde he oft did grone,

And inly wish, that in his powre it weare

Her to redresse: but since he meanes found none

He could no more but her great misery bemone.
