[XVII. Thirsis on his faire Phillis brest reposing]

Thirsis on his faire Phillis brest reposing, faire Phillis brest reposing, Sweetly, sweetly did languish, when shee in loues sweet anguish, him kissing gently said (thus) with sugred glosing, Thirsis ô tell mee, thy true loue best approued, Then hee then hee which to hir hart was euer nerest, Kist hir againe and said, Kist hir againe and said, yes yes Lady dearest.
