[Sweet Lovely Nimph]

A Dialogue.

Shepherd and Nimph.
Shepherd.

Sweet Lovely Nimph! whose Eyes do move me above all other Swains to Love thee.


Nimph.

Shepherd, you feign; and I know there is no flattering Swain like you.


Shepherd.

O fair one! do not wrong me so; for if ever Shepherd Lov'd, I doe.


Nimph.

May I believe thy Vows unfained.


Shep.

Or may I die by you disdained.


CHORUS.

Then let us Joy, then let us Joy each others Love, and strive and strive who shall most Constant prove.
