THE
SECOND BOOKE
OF
AYRES



William Corkine

1612

 

13. As by a fountaine

 
As by a fountaine chast Diana sate,
Viewing of Natures pride, her beauteous face,
The waters boild with loue, she boyles with hate,
Chastning their pride with exile from their place,
They murmuring ranne to Sea and being there;
Each liquid drop turn'd to a brinish teare.
