[XVII. Hark iolly shepheards]
Hark iolly shepheards hark
Hark iolly shepheards hark: hark you yon lusty
ringing! hark (alas) hark how cheerefully the
bells daunce hark how cheerefully the bells, how cheerfully the
bells daunce, the whilst the ladds are springing. Gow then, why sit wee
heere delaying? sit wee heere thus delaying, why sit wee delaying, why
then sit wee delaying? and all yon merry merry merry wanton lasses
playing, & all yon merry merry laddes, and merry merry wanton lasses
wanton lasses playing, and all yon merry merry lads merry lads, lads and
lasses playing. How gayly Flora leads it, & sweetly treads it? The woods &
groues they ring, they ring lowdly resoūding, with Eccho sweet reboūding.
The woods and groues they ring they ring lowdly resounding, with Eccho sweet rebounding.
