The Complaint of the Shepheard Harp●●us . To a pleasant new Tune .

Poore Harpalus , opprest with loue , sate by a Cristall Brooke : Thinking his sorrowes to remoue , oft times therein to looke : And hearing how on pibble stones , the murmuring riuer ran , As if it had bewaild his grones , vnto it thus began . Faire streame ( quoth he ) that pitties me , and heare my matchlesse mone , If thou be going to the Sea : as I doe now suppone , Attend my plaints past all reliefe , wich dolefully I breath , Acquaint the Sea-Nymphz with the griefe ▪ which still procures my death . Who sitting in the cliffie Rockes , may in their songs expresse , While as they combe their golden locks , poore Harpalus distresse : And so parhaps 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 then store : Lou'd faire Philena , haplesse man , Phulena , oh therefore . Who still , remorslesse hearted maid , tooke pleasure in his paine : And his good will poore soule , repaid with vndeseru'd disdaine . Nere Shepheard lou'd a Shepheardesse more faithfully then he : Nere Shepheard yet beloued lesse of Shepheardesse could be . How oft did he with dying lookes , to her his woes impart ? How oft his sighs did testifie the dolour of his heart ? How oft from Uallies to the Hils , 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 ingraue in mournefull lines , the griefe he did sustaine ? Yet all his plaints could haue no place , to change Philenas mind : The more his sorrowes did increase , the more she prou'd vnkind : The thought thereof with wearied care , poore Harpalus did moue , That ouercome with high despaire , he lost both life and Loue . D. M. FINIS .
