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.
