1 Whoso list to hunt ? I know where is an hind !But as for me, alas !  I may no more,

The vain travail hath wearied me so sore ;I am of them that furthest come behind.

5 Yet may I by no means my wearied mindDraw from the deer ; but as she fleeth aforeFainting I follow ; I leave off therefore,Since in a net I seek to hold the wind.Who list her hunt, I put him out of doubtAs well as I, may spend his time in vain !And graven with diamonds in letters plain,There is written her fair neck round about ;

    ' Noli me tangere ; for Cæsar's I am,14 And wild for to hold, though I seem tame.'

One day I wrote her name upon the strand,

But came the waves and washed it away:

Again I write it with a second hand,

But came the tide, and made my pains his prey.

Our love shall live, and later life renew.
