1 O foolish physic, and unfruitful pain,
pain > effort
2 That heals up one and makes another wound: 3 She his hurt thigh to him recured again,
recured > restored
4 But hurt his heart, which before was sound, 5 Through an unwary dart, which did rebound 6 From her fair eyes and gracious countenance. 7 What boots it him from death to be unbound,
boots > avails
8 To be captived in endless durance
captived > made captive
9 Of sorrow and despair without allegeance?
allegeance > alleviation, relief
