Let us look carefully at the opening stanza: From off a hill whose concave womb reworded A plaintful story from a sist'ring vale, My spirits t' attend this double voice accorded, And down I laid to list the sad-tuned tale; Ere long espied a fickle maid full pale, Tearing of papers, breaking rings a-twain, Storming her world with sorrow's wind and rain.
A Lover's Complaint revisited by Jackson, MacD.P. / Shakespeare Studies
