4 Stella, fairest Shepheardesse,
Fairest, but yet cruelst ever:
Stella, whom the heavens still blesse,
Though against me she persever,
Though I blisse inherit never.
5 Stella hath refused mee,
Stella, who more love hath proved
In this caitiffe hart to bee,
Than can in good to us be moved
Towards Lambkins best beloved.
