Classic Poem

Dom Diego, a Spaniard, falling in love with faire Genevora, was, in the prime of his fancies, with like love by Genevora friendly acquainted. Afterwards Genevora (else where fancying) had Dom Diego in such disdaine, as still she crost both his suite and service with scorne. Dom Diego, seeing an impossibilitie of favour, exiled him selfe both from courte and companie, and vowed to live and die in the Pyren mountains, unless Genevora would both remove her misliking, and friendly fetch him home againe: who solemnely persevering in this senselesse vowe, you may suppose among the Pyren hilles to wrest foorth this following complaint of his wretchednesse.
