For her griefs so lively shown

Made me think upon mine own.

Ah! thought I, thou mourn'st in vain,

None takes pity on thy pain:

Senseless trees they cannot hear thee,

Ruthless beasts they will not cheer thee:

King Pandion he is dead,

All thy friends are lapped in lead;

All thy fellow birds do sing

Careless of thy sorrowing:
