Now was the Lord and Lady of the May
Meeting the May-pole at the breake of day,
And Cælia, as the fairest on the Greene,
Not without some Maids enuy chosen Queene.
Now was the time com'n, when our gentle Swaine
Must inne his haruest or lose all againe.
Now must he plucke the Rose least other hands,
Or tempests, blemish what so fairely stands:
And therefore as they had before decreed,
Our shepherd gets a Boat, and with all speed
In night (that doth on Louers actions smile)
Arriued safe on Mona's fruitfull Ile.
