Brought all her woman's witcheries into play,

Still smiling in a set sarcastic way,

Till my blood boiled, my visage crimson grew

With indignation, as a rose with dew:

And so she left me, inly to repine

That such as she could flout such charms as mine.

O shepherds, tell me true! Am I not fair?

Am I transformed? For lately I did wear

Grace as a garment; and my cheeks, o'er them

Ran the rich growth like ivy round the stem.
