Nought is there under Heaven's wide hollownesse
That moves more deare compassion of minde,
Than beautie brought t' unworthy wretchednesse,
Through envie's snares, or fortune's freakes unkinde.

Or through alleageance and faste fealtie,

Which I do owe unto all womankynde,

Feele my hart perst with so greate agonie
When such I see, that all for pitty I could dy.
