As I haue seene when on the brest of Thames
A heauenly beauty of sweet English Dames,
In some calme Eu'ning of delightfull May,
With Musicke giue a farewell to the day,
Or as they would (with an admired tone)
Greet Nights ascension to her Eben Throne,
Rapt with their melodie, a thousand more
Run to be wafted from the bounding shore:
So ran the Shepherds, and with hasty feet
Stroue which should first increase that happy fleet.
