[X. Harke and giue eare auctentiue]

Harke and giue eare auctentiue, you louers so besotted, No lyfe no breach, and yet no death allotted: Phillis, fayre gaue mee a flowre, Shee of that flowre beereft mee, all comfortlesse shee left mee, all comfortlesse, and stealing fled, all comfortlesse shee left mee, What pangs are these in louers, Twixt lyfe & death so striuing, That steales the hart, and giues the lyfe reuiuing.
