O cruel Amarillis, O nymph, more sweet and fair Than fairest lillies are; Since speaking I offend, Silent I'll seek my end, But yet for me the hills And ev'ry vale shall loudly cry. Fountains shall weep for me; Hoarse winds to ev'ry tree Shall tell my mournful tale; And in my cheek all pale Shall grief and pity speak: And, should all other things be mute, My hapless end shall speak, My death shall tell thee Thou my heart did'st break.
