[IIII. How merely we liue that shepherds be]

How merely we liue that sheperds be

How merely we liue that sheperds be, roundelayes still we sing, with merry glee, on the plesant dounes whereas our flocks wee see, wee feele no cares, wee feare not fortunes frounes, we haue no enuie, which sweet mirth confounds.
