Distain

Both hands are labouring the fierce knots to pull; / black gore and slime his sacred wreaths distain. / Loud are his moans.

Beneath that tree’s great shadow on the plain a fountain bubbled up, whose lymph serene nothing of earthly mixture might distain: fountain so pure not anywhere was seen in all the world, nor on whose marge the earth put flowers of such unfading beauty forth.

Thence riſe the tears that ſo diſtaine my cheeks, Fearing his loue through my vnworthyneſſe.
