Riddle #12

Hard fortun doth haunt me, by nature estranged
From male into female, I often am chaunged.
And where as before I liud well contented,
With pickings and punchings I am now tormented.
Now, more to accomplish their greedy desire,
They cruelly heate mee, and scortch me with fire.
Though badly they use mee, so milde am I still:
That I yeelde them life that thus doe mee kill.
