[A Satyre sitting by a riuer side]
A Satyre sitting by a riuer side,Foreworne with care that hardlie findes recure:
A straying Nymph in passion did deride
His teares, his care, her smiles her scornes assure:
He wept, she wisht, and all their thoughts among,
Fancie beheld and sung this carefull song.
Growne by thy griefe, abate thy wonted forme:
Perhaps her eye was formde to yeeld disgrace,
And blemisht that which wit may not reforme.
Perhaps she will if so thou list to proue,
Perhaps she likes, and yet she dares not loue.
But if (perhaps) thy fortune be so faire,
Laugh Satyre then it proues a pretie prize:
And if thou wilt, so liue to shunne dispaire
As looking long thou keepe thy proper eyes.
This said she ceast: the Nymph she fled away,
And good perswasion causde the Satyre play.
