FROM off a hill whose concave womb reworded A plaintful story from a sistering vale
My spirits to attend this double voice accorded
And down I laid to list the sad-tuned tale; Ere long espied a fickle maid full pale
Tearing of papers
breaking rings a-twain
Storming her world with sorrow's wind and rain. Upon her head a platted hive of straw
Which fortified her visage from the sun
Whereon the thought might think sometime it saw The carcass of beauty spent and done: Time had not scythed all that youth begun
Nor youth all quit; but
spite of heaven's fell rage
Some beauty peep'd through lattice of sear'd age. Oft did she heave her napkin to her eyne
Which on it had conceited characters
Laundering the silken figures in the brine That season'd woe had pelleted in tears
And often reading what contents it bears; As often shrieking undistinguish'd woe
In clamours of all size
both high and low. Sometimes her levell'd eyes their carriage ride
As they did battery to the spheres intend; Sometime diverted their poor balls are tied To the orbed earth; sometimes they do extend Their view right on; anon their gazes lend To every place at once
and
nowhere fix'd
The mind and sight distractedly commix'd. Her hair
nor loose nor tied in formal plat
Proclaim'd in her a careless hand of pride For some
untuck'd
descended her sheaved hat
Hanging her pale and pined cheek beside; Some in her threaden fillet still did bide
And true to bondage would not break from thence
Though slackly braided in loose negligence. A thousand favours from a maund she drew Of amber
crystal
and of beaded jet
Which one by one she in a river threw
Upon whose weeping margent she was set; Like usury
applying wet to wet
Or monarch's hands that let not bounty fall Where want cries some
but where excess begs all. Of folded schedules had she many a one
Which she perused
sigh'd
tore
and gave the flood; Crack'd many a ring of posied gold and bone Bidding them find their sepulchres in mud; Found yet moe letters sadly penn'd in blood
With sleided silk feat and affectedly Enswathed
and seal'd to curious secrecy. These often bathed she in her fluxive eyes
And often kiss'd
and often 'gan to tear: Cried 'O false blood
thou register of lies
What unapproved witness dost thou bear! Ink would have seem'd more black and damned here!' This said
in top of rage the lines she rents
Big discontent so breaking their contents. A reverend man that grazed his cattle nigh-- Sometime a blusterer
that the ruffle knew Of court
of city
and had let go by The swiftest hours
observed as they flew-- Towards this afflicted fancy fastly drew
privileged by age
desires to know In brief the grounds and motives of her woe. So slides he down upon his grained bat
And comely-distant sits he by her side; When he again desires her
being sat
Her grievance with his hearing to divide: If that from him there may be aught applied Which may her suffering ecstasy assuage
'Tis promised in the charity of age. 'Father
' she says
'though in me you behold The injury of many a blasting hour

If I had self-applied Love to myself and to no love beside. 'But
woe is me! too early I attended A youthful suit--it was to gain my grace-- Of one by nature's outwards so commended
That maidens' eyes stuck over all his face: Love lack'd a dwelling
and made him her place; And when in his fair parts she did abide
She was new lodged and newly deified. 'His browny locks did hang in crooked curls; And every light occasion of the wind Upon his lips their silken parcels hurls. What's sweet to do
to do will aptly find: Each eye that saw him did enchant the mind
For on his visage was in little drawn What largeness thinks in Paradise was sawn. 'Small show of man was yet upon his chin; His phoenix down began but to appear Like unshorn velvet on that termless skin Whose bare out-bragg'd the web it seem'd to wear: Yet show'd his visage by that cost more dear; And nice affections wavering stood in doubt If best were as it was
or best without. 'His qualities were beauteous as his form
For maiden-tongued he was
and thereof free; Yet
if men moved him
was he such a storm As oft 'twixt May and April is to see
When winds breathe sweet
untidy though they be. His rudeness so with his authorized youth Did livery falseness in a pride of truth. 'Well could he ride
and often men would say 'That horse his mettle from his rider takes: Proud of subjection
noble by the sway
What rounds
what bounds
what course
what stop he makes!' And controversy hence a question takes
Whether the horse by him became his deed
Or he his manage by the well-doing steed. 'But quickly on this side the verdict went: His real habitude gave life and grace To appertainings and to ornament
Accomplish'd in himself
not in his case: All aids
themselves made fairer by their place
Came for additions; yet their purposed trim Pieced not his grace
but were all graced by him. 'So on the tip of his subduing tongue All kinds of arguments and question deep
All replication prompt
and reason strong
For his advantage still did wake and sleep: To make the weeper laugh
the laugher weep
He had the dialect and different skill
Catching all passions in his craft of will: 'That he did in the general bosom reign Of young

or to remain In personal duty

To serve their eyes

that never touch'd his hand
Sweetly supposed them mistress of his heart. My woeful self

And was my own fee-simple

Reserved the stalk and gave him all my flower. 'Yet did I not
as some my equals did
Demand of him
nor being desired yielded; Finding myself in honour so forbid
With safest distance I mine honour shielded: Experience for me many bulwarks builded Of proofs new-bleeding
which remain'd the foil Of this false jewel
and his amorous spoil. 'But
ah
who ever shunn'd by precedent The destined ill she must herself assay? Or forced examples
'gainst her own content
To put the by-past perils in her way? Counsel may stop awhile what will not stay; For when we rage
advice is often seen By blunting us to make our wits more keen. 'Nor gives it satisfaction to our blood
That we must curb it upon others' proof; To be forbod the sweets that seem so good
For fear of harms that preach in our behoof. O appetite
from judgment stand aloof! The one a palate hath that needs will taste
Though Reason weep
and cry
'It is thy last. ' 'For further I could say 'This man's untrue
' And knew the patterns of his foul beguiling; Heard where his plants in others' orchards grew
Saw how deceits were gilded in his smiling; Knew vows were ever brokers to defiling; Thought characters and words merely but art
And bastards of his foul adulterate heart. 'And long upon these terms I held my city
Till thus he gan besiege me: 'Gentle maid
Have of my suffering youth some feeling pity
And be not of my holy vows afraid: That's to ye sworn to none was ever said; For feasts of love I have been call'd unto
Till now did ne'er invite
nor never woo. ''All my offences that abroad you see Are errors of the blood
none of the mind; Love made them not: with acture they may be
Where neither party is nor true nor kind: They sought their shame that so their shame did find; And so much less of shame in me remains
By how much of me their reproach contains. ''Among the many that mine eyes have seen
Not one whose flame my heart so much as warm'd
Or my affection put to the smallest teen
Or any of my leisures ever charm'd: Harm have I done to them
but ne'er was harm'd; Kept hearts in liveries
but mine own was free
And reign'd
commanding in his monarchy. ''Look here
what tributes wounded fancies sent me
Of paled pearls and rubies red as blood; Figuring that they their passions likewise lent me Of grief and blushes
aptly understood In bloodless white and the encrimson'd mood; Effects of terror and dear modesty
Encamp'd in hearts
but fighting outwardly. ''And
lo
behold these talents of their hair
With twisted metal amorously impleach'd
I have received from many a several fair
Their kind acceptance weepingly beseech'd
With the annexions of fair gems enrich'd
And deep-brain'd sonnets that did amplify Each stone's dear nature
worth
and quality. ''The diamond
--why
'twas beautiful and hard
Whereto his invised properties did tend; The deep-green emerald
in whose fresh regard Weak sights their sickly radiance do amend; The heaven-hued sapphire and the opal blend With objects manifold: each several stone
With wit well blazon'd
smiled or made some moan. ''Lo
all these trophies of affections hot
Of pensived and subdued desires the tender
Nature hath charged me that I hoard them not
But yield them up where I myself must render
That is
to you
my origin and ender; For these
of force
must your oblations be
Since I their altar
you enpatron me. ''O
then
advance of yours that phraseless hand
Whose white weighs down the airy scale of praise; Take all these similes to your own command
Hallow'd with sighs that burning lungs did raise; What me your minister
for you obeys
Works under you; and to your audit comes Their distract parcels in combined sums. ''Lo
this device was sent me from a nun
Or sister sanctified
of holiest note; Which late her noble suit in court did shun
Whose rarest havings made the blossoms dote; For she was sought by spirits of richest coat
But kept cold distance
and did thence remove
To spend her living in eternal love. ''But
O my sweet
what labour is't to leave The thing we have not
mastering what not strives
Playing the place which did no form receive
Playing patient sports in unconstrained gyves? She that her fame so to herself contrives
The scars of battle 'scapeth by the flight
And makes her absence valiant
not her might. ''O
pardon me
in that my boast is true: The accident which brought me to her eye Upon the moment did her force subdue
And now she would the caged cloister fly: Religious love put out Religion's eye: Not to be tempted
would she be immured
And now
to tempt
all liberty procured. ''How mighty then you are
O
hear me tell! The broken bosoms that to me belong Have emptied all their fountains in my well
And mine I pour your ocean all among: I strong o'er them
and you o'er me being strong
Must for your victory us all congest
As compound love to physic your cold breast. ''My parts had power to charm a sacred nun
Who
disciplined
ay
dieted in grace
Believed her eyes when they to assail begun
All vows and consecrations giving place: O most potential love! vow
bond
nor space
In thee hath neither sting
knot
nor confine
For thou art all
and all things else are thine. ''When thou impressest
what are precepts worth Of stale example? When thou wilt inflame
How coldly those impediments stand forth Of wealth
of filial fear
law
kindred
fame! Love's arms are peace
'gainst rule
'gainst sense
'gainst shame
And sweetens
in the suffering pangs it bears
The aloes of all forces
shocks
and fears. ''Now all these hearts that do on mine depend
Feeling it break
with bleeding groans they pine; And supplicant their sighs to you extend
To leave the battery that you make 'gainst mine
Lending soft audience to my sweet design
And credent soul to that strong-bonded oath That shall prefer and undertake my troth. ' 'This said
his watery eyes he did dismount
Whose sights till then were levell'd on my face; Each cheek a river running from a fount With brinish current downward flow'd apace: O
how the channel to the stream gave grace! Who glazed with crystal gate the glowing roses That flame through water which their hue encloses. 'O father
what a hell of witchcraft lies In the small orb of one particular tear! But with the inundation of the eyes What rocky heart to water will not wear? What breast so cold that is not warmed here? O cleft effect! cold modesty
hot wrath
Both fire from hence and chill extincture hath. 'For
his passion
but an art of craft
Even there resolved my reason into tears; There my white stole of chastity I daff'd
Shook off my sober guards and civil fears; Appear to him
as he to me appears
All melting; though our drops this difference bore
His poison'd me
and mine did him restore. 'In him a plenitude of subtle matter
Applied to cautels
all strange forms receives
Of burning blushes
or of weeping water
Or swooning paleness; and he takes and leaves
In either's aptness
as it best deceives
To blush at speeches rank to weep at woes
Or to turn white and swoon at tragic shows. 'That not a heart which in his level came Could 'scape the hail of his all-hurting aim
Showing fair nature is both kind and tame; And
veil'd in them
did win whom he would maim: Against the thing he sought he would exclaim; When he most burn'd in heart-wish'd luxury
He preach'd pure maid
and praised cold chastity. 'Thus merely with the garment of a Grace The naked and concealed fiend he cover'd; That th' unexperient gave the tempter place
Which like a cherubin above them hover'd. Who
young and simple
would not be so lover'd? Ay me! I fell; and yet do question make What I should do again for such a sake. 'O
that infected moisture of his eye
that false fire which in his cheek so glow'd
that forced thunder from his heart did fly
that sad breath his spongy lungs bestow'd
all that borrow'd motion seeming owed
Would yet again betray the fore-betray'd
And new pervert a reconciled maid!'

that sad breath his spongy lungs bestow'd
all that borrow'd motion seeming owed
Would yet again betray the fore-betray'd
And new pervert a reconciled maid!'
