Passing thus alone, through the silent forest   Many a grievous groan sounded in her ear   Where she heard a man to lament the sorest   Chance that ever came, forc'd by deadly strife      Farewell, me dear, quoth he   Whom I shall never see   For why my life is at an end for thy sweet sake I die   Through villains cruelty to show I am a faithful friend      Here lie I a bleeding while my thoughts are feeding   On the rarest beauty found, oh hard hap that may be   Little knows my lady   My heart blood lies on the ground
