Venus went wandering
Language: English 
Venus went wand'ring, Adonis to find,
At last espied her sweet Adonis slain.
A thousand thoughts possessed her troubled mind 

And sudden fear shaked every purple vein. 
Weeping she stands, weeping for his untimely death,
Whose sighs and tears wails his departed breath.
