Full speech
Thus all alone and Like a shepherd's swain, As Paris (when Oenon loved him well) Forgot he was the son of Priamus, All clad in grey sat piping on a reed; So I transformed to this Country shape, Haunting these groves to work my Master's will, To plague the Palatine with jealousy, And to conceit him with some deep extreme. Here comes the man unto his wonted walk. The heaven of love is but a pleasant hell, Where none but foolish wife imprisoned dwell. Poor hapless man, these thoughts con taine the hell, I am a shepherd swain, thou wandering Knight, That watch my flocks, not one that follow love. Now is the fire late smothered in suspect, Kindled and burns within his angry breast. Now have I done the will of Sacrepant. No truly Sir, I am not he. Brave knight since fear of death enforceth still In greater minds submission and relent: Know that this Medor whose unhappy name Is mixed with the fair Angelicas, Is even that Medor that enjoys her love. You cave bears witness of their kind content, Yond meadows talk the actions of their joy. Our Shepherds in their songs of solace sing, Angelica does none but Medor love. Yet when thine eye hath seen, they heart shall rue The tragic chance that shortly shall ensue.
