About this book
A young woman sits beside a river, tearing letters and throwing rings and keepsakes into the water, in Shakespeare's narrative poem A Lover's Complaint. An old man who once knew court and city, now grazing his cattle nearby, comes to ask the cause of her grief, and she answers with the story of a charming young suitor who won her favour too early. It was printed in 1609 at the end of the volume of Shakespeare's Sonnets, in seven-line stanzas.
