The gentle knight her soone with carefull paine
2 Vplifted light, and softly did vphold:
Thrise he her reard, and thrise she sunke againe,
4 Till he his armes about her sides gan fold,
And to her said; Yet if the stony cold
6 Haue not all seized on your frozen hart,
Let one word fall that may your griefe vnfold,
8 And tell the secret of your mortall smart;
He oft finds present helpe, who does his griefe impart.
