| | | YOU lofty Pines, co-partners of my woe, | |
| When CHLORIS sitteth underneath your shade; | |
| To her those sighs and tears, I pray you show, | |
| Whilst you attending, I for her have made. | |
| Whilst you attending droppèd have sweet balm, | 5 |
| In token that you pity my distress: | |
| ZEPHIRUS hath your stately boughs made calm; | |
| Whilst I, to you my sorrows did express. | |
| The neighbour mountains bendèd have their tops, | |
| When they have heard my rueful melody; | 10 |
| And Elves, in rings about me leap and hop, | |
| To frame my passions to their jollity. | |
| Resounding echoes, from their obscure caves | |
| Reiterate what most my fancy craves. | | | | |
