POore Harpalus, opprest with love, sate by a Chrystall Brooke, Thinking his sorrowes to remove, ofttimes therein did looke: And hearing how on pibble stones the murmuring River ranne, As if it had bewayld his grones, unto it thus beganne. Faire streame (quoth he) that pitties me, and heares my matchlesse mone, If thou be going to the Sea, as I doe now suppone, Attend my plaints past all reliefe, which dolefully I breath, Acquaint the Sea-nymphs with the griefe which still procures my death Who sitting in the Cliffy Rockes, may in their songs expresse, While as they combe their golden lockes, poore Harpalus distresse: And so perhaps some Passenger, that passeth by the way, May stay and listen for to heare, them sing this dolefull Lay. Poore Harpalus, a Shepheard Swaine, more rich in youth than store; Lovd faire Philena¸ haplesse man, Philena, oh therefore: Who, still remorceless-hearted Mayd, tooke pleasure in his pains,
And his good will, poore soule, repayd with undsservd disdayne. Nere Shepheard loved Shepheardesse more faithfully then he, Nere Shepheard yet beloved lesse of Shepheardesse could be; How oft did he with dying lookes, to her his woes impart? How oft his sighs did testify the dolour of his heart? How oft from Valleys to the Hills did he his griefe rehearse? How oft re-ecchoed they his ills, abacke againe (alas?) How oft on Barkes of stately Pines, of Beech, of Holly-greene, Did he ingrave in mournefull lines, the griefe he did sustaine? Yet all his plaints could have no place, to change Philenas mind; The more his sorrowes did encrease, the more the provd unkind; The thought thereof with wearyed care poore Harpalus did move, That overcome with high despairs, he lost both life and Love.
