Therion > "Wild Beast" swain > youth, young man
7 Who had more joy to range the forest wide, 8 And chase the savage beast with busy pain,
savage > wild, but not necessarily savage busy pain > careful labour
9 Than serve his lady's love, and waste in pleasures vain.
waste > idle time away vain > foolish, empty
106.22
The forlorne mayd did with loues longing burne,
2 And could not lacke her louers company,
But to the wood she goes, to serue her turne,
4 And seeke her spouse, that from her still does fly,
And followes other game and venery:
6 A Satyre chaunst her wandring for to find,
And kindling coles of lust in brutish eye,
8 The loyall links of wedlocke did vnbind,
And made her person thrall vnto his beastly kind.
1 The forlorn maid did with love's longing burn, 2 And could not lack her lover's company,
lack > do without
3 But to the wood she goes, to serve her turn,
