_My sighes and teares I vented to the winde, For none would heare or pittie my complaints; My torments still encreased in this kinde, And more and more I felt these sharpe restraints. Release me now at last from forth this hell. Asswage thy rigour, Delight not thus in cruelty to dwell, Love, if I can scape free, &c._ _If this thou wilt not grant, be yet so kinde, Release me from these worse then servile bands, Which new vaine hopes have bred, wherein I finde; Such violent feares, as comfort quite withstands. Be now (at length) a little moov'd to pittie, Be it nere so little: Or in my death listen my Swan-like Dittie._ _Love, if I can scape free from forth thy holde, Beleeve it for a truth, Never more shall thy falshood me enfolde._ After that Madame _Eliza_ had made an end of her Song, which shee sealed up with an heart-breaking sigh: they all sate amazedly wondering at her moanes, not one among them being able to conjecture, what should be the reason of her singing in this manner.

All the Starres were departed out of the East, but onely that, which we commonly cal bright _Lucifer_, or the Day-Star, gracing the morning very gloriously: when the Master of the household, being risen, went with all the provision, to the _Valley of Ladies_, to make everie thing in due and decent readines, according as his Lord over-night had commanded him. After which departure of his, it was not long before the King arose, beeing awaked with the noise which the carriages made; and when he was up, the other two Gentlemen and the Ladies were quickly readie soone after. On they set towards the _Valley_, even as the Sunne was rising: and all the way as they went, never before had they heard so many sweete Nightingales, and other pretty Birds melodiously singing, as they did this morning, which keeping them company thoroughout the journey, they arrived at the _Valley of Ladies_, where it seemed to them, that infinit Quires of delicate Nightingales, and other Birds, had purposely made a meeting, even as it were to give them a glad welcome thither.
