1074—Sitting beyond a Rivers side, |
Parthenia thus to Cloe cry'd ; |
Parthenia's Complaint. | Or, The forsaken Sheperdess. |
The falshood of Young men she doth discover.
By sad example of her Faithless Lover :
And so against them all she doth enveigh,
Tho' injur'd but by one, which makes her say,
Happy Nymph for certain is that can.
So little value that false Creature Man.
