14. [Cloris and Amintas]

Cloris, since thou art fled away
Amintas sheep are gone astray,
And all the Ioyes he took to see
These pritie lambis run after the.
She's gon, she's gon, and he all day
Sings nothing now but walladay, walladay.
The imbroidered scrip he us'd to wear
Neglected hangs, so dooth his haire,
His Crook is brook, doge whineing lyes,
And he himself nothing but crys
Cloris, O Cloris, come away,
And heare Amintas walladay, walladay.
His pipe wheron he us'd to play
So oft to her a roundelay
Is cast aside & not an Swane
Darr's pipe or play vpon that plain.
It's death for any one to say
One word to him but walladay, walladay.
The may pole where her prettie feet
In their dew measures oft did meet
Is braken doun & no content
Com's neir Amintas since she went,
But all that ever I heard him say
Was Cloris, Cloris, walladay, walladay.
The ground wheron she us'd to tred
He ever since hath layed his head,
And suffered ther such pining woe
That not on blad of grass do grow.
O Cloris, Cloris, come away,
And hear Amintas walladay, walladay.
