And after him she rode with so much speede
2 As her slow beast could make; but all in vaine:
For him so far had borne his light-foot steede,
4 Pricked with wrath and fiery fierce disdaine,
That him to follow was but fruitlesse paine;
6 Yet she her weary limbes would neuer rest,
But euery hill and dale, each wood and plaine
8 Did search, sore grieued in her gentle brest,
He so vngently left her, whom she +loued+ best.

And _Vna_ wandring in woods and forrests,
4 Th'end of his drift, he praisd his diuelish arts,
That had such might ouer true meaning harts;
6 Yet rests not so, but other meanes doth make,
How he may worke vnto her further smarts:
8 For her he hated as the hissing snake,
And in her many troubles did most pleasure take.
