What sorrow Nature doth sustain,

For Astrophil, by Envy slain.

And while I followed with mine eye

The flight the eagle upward took;

All things did vanish by and by,

And disappearèd from my look.

The trees, beasts, birds and grove were gone:

So was the friend that made this moan.

This spectacle had firmly wrought

A deep compassion in my sprite;
