Song.
Loue
as well can make abiding
In a faithfull Shepheards brest
As in Princes: whose thoughts sliding
Like swift Riuers neuer rest.
In a faithfull Shepheards brest
As in Princes: whose thoughts sliding
Like swift Riuers neuer rest.
Change to their minds is best feeding,
To a Shepheard all his care,
Who when his Loue is exceeding,
Thinks his faith his richest fare.
To a Shepheard all his care,
Who when his Loue is exceeding,
Thinks his faith his richest fare.
Beauty but a slight inuiting,
Cannot stirre his heart to change;
Constancye his chiefe delighting,
Striues to flee from fant'sies strange,
Cannot stirre his heart to change;
Constancye his chiefe delighting,
Striues to flee from fant'sies strange,
Fairnesse to him is no pleasure,
If in other then his loue;
Nor can esteeme that a treasure,
Which in her smiles doth not moue.
If in other then his loue;
Nor can esteeme that a treasure,
Which in her smiles doth not moue.
This a Shepheard once confessed,
Who lou'd well, but was not lou'd:
Though with scorne & griefe oppressed
could not yet to change be mou'd.
Who lou'd well, but was not lou'd:
Though with scorne & griefe oppressed
could not yet to change be mou'd.
But himselfe he thus contented,
While in loue he was accurst:
This hard hap he not repented,
Since best Louers speed the worst.
While in loue he was accurst:
This hard hap he not repented,
Since best Louers speed the worst.
