And Rejected is his Passion (Roundel)
Insult sparks revenge in Cupid
Arrows of love one lead and one gold
Now of love, the poor girl is rid
And rejected is his passion.
He follows and coos and wishes to hold
But the maiden runs for the arrow forbid
Even if her father told.
But passion sends Apollo for his love is not hid
Cursed the body which Paneus remold
Farewell she bid
And rejected is his passion
