and still I was deferring to reject mere earthly
felicity
and to
give myself to search out that, whereof not the finding only, but
the very search, was to be preferred to the treasures and king-

He cared not for our sighs; and though 't be true
That he divided us, his worth I knew:
He must be blind that cannot see the sun,
But by strict justice Love is quite undone:
Counsel from such a friend gave such a stroke
To love, it almost split, as on a rock:
For as my father I his wrath did fear,
And as a son he in my love was dear;
Brothers in age we were, him I obey'd,
But with a troubled soul and look dismay'd:
Thus my dear half had an untimely death,
She prized her freedom far above her breath;
And I th' unhappy
instrument
was made;
Such force th' intreaty and intreater had!

Above the trench himself he scantly rears,

And through his right hand thrust the piercing sting;
Disabled thus from fight, he gan retire,
Groaning for pain, but
