The pitteous maiden carefull comfortlesse,
2 Does throw out thrilling shriekes, and shrieking cryes,
The last vaine helpe of womens great distresse,
4 And with loud plaints importuneth the skyes,
That molten starres do drop like weeping eyes;
6 And _Ph{oe}bus_ flying so most shamefull sight,
His blushing face in foggy cloud implyes,
8 And hides for shame. What wit of mortall wight
Can now deuise to quit a thrall from such a plight?

Eternall prouidence exceeding thought,
2 Where none appeares can make her selfe a way:
A wondrous way it for this Lady wrought,
4 From Lyons clawes to pluck the griped pray.
Her shrill outcryes and shriekes so loud did bray,
6 That all the woodes and forestes did resownd;
A troupe of _Faunes_ and _Satyres_ far away
8 Within the wood were dauncing in a rownd,
Whiles old _Syluanus_ slept in shady arber sownd.
