(Nature and Art; within her both were blest;

Music in her, and Love had his excelling).

To visit her fair cousins oft she came;

Perhaps more jocund, but no whit to blame.

Fortune had crossed her with a churlish Mate,

Who Strymon hight. A Palmer was his sire,

Full nobly born and of a wealthy state;

His son a child not born to his Desire.

Thus was she crossed, which causèd her thereby,

Daiphantus' grief to mourn, by sympathy.
