The Damzell was full deepe empassioned,
2 Both for his griefe, and for her peoples sake,
Whose future woes so plaine he fashioned,
4 And sighing sore, at length him thus bespake;

Will not long misery late mercy make,
8 But shall their name for euer be defast,
And quite from +of the earth+ their memory be rast?
