Thereat she sighing softly, had no powre
2 To speake a while, ne ready answere make,
But with hart-thrilling throbs and bitter stowre,
4 As if she had a feuer fit, did quake,
And euery daintie limbe with horrour shake;
6 And euer and anone the rosy red,
Flasht through her face, as it had beene a flake
8 Of lightning, through bright heauen fulmined;
At last the passion past she thus him answered.
1 Thereat she, sighing softly, had no power
Thereat > Thereupon; as a result of that
2 To speak awhile, nor ready answer make, 3 But with heart-thrilling throbs and bitter stour,
thrilling > piercing throbs > beats, pulsations [of the heart] stour > turmoil, distress
4 As if she had a fever fit, did quake, 5 And every dainty limb with horror shake;
dainty > delightful, comely
