dainty, they say, makes dearth > (Dearth makes something dainty. Applied to food, dearth = scarceness; dainty = choice, delicious. And, generally: dearth = dearness, rarity; dainty = delightful. In either event this is a restatement of the Latin proverb, quae rara, cara: what is scarce is esteemed or becomes estimable. In other words, her very coyness serves to increase his desire)

Long time they thus together traueiled,
2 Till weary of their way, they came at last,
Where grew two goodly trees, that faire did spred
4 Their armes abroad, with gray mosse ouercast,
And their greene leaues trembling with euery blast,

The fearefull Shepheard often there aghast
8 Vnder them neuer sat, ne wont there sound
His mery oaten pipe, but shund th'vnlucky ground.
