Nought is there under heaven's wide hollownesse That moves more dear compassion of mind, Than beautie brought t'unworthie wretchednesse Through envious snares or fortune's freaks unkinde. * To think how causeless of her own accord This gentle damzell, whom I write upon, Should plonged be in such affliction, Without all hope of comfort or reliefe.
"A most magnificent dinner had Anastasio provided, and the tables were covered under the Pine-trees, where he saw the cruell Lady so pursued and slaine: directing the guests so in their seating, that the yong Gentlewoman his unkinde Mistresse, sate with her face opposite unto the place, where the dismall spectacle was to be seen.
