The line that illustrates this is a song of unrequited love is, "I am slain by a fair cruel maid." The rejection has made the man feel as though he has been killed. Later on, the theme is reinforced with the line, "Lay me, O, where sad true lover never find my grave, to weep there!" The speaker has been hurt by the unrequited love and tells the audience the true love will regret it when he's dead.
