[Saie Shepherdesse, what hath depriued thee]
Saie
Shepherdesse, what hath depriued thee
Of curtesie and ioy,
Since that so merrie thou were wount to be?
Of curtesie and ioy,
Since that so merrie thou were wount to be?
The deere remembrance of my passed gladnes
In middes of all my present greefe and paine,
Woe to my soule, that feeles it with such sadnes,
If long in such a state it doth remaine:
And since that time hath changed (to be plaine)
A Shepherd to offend and trouble me,
Merrie and pleasant I could neuer be.
In middes of all my present greefe and paine,
Woe to my soule, that feeles it with such sadnes,
If long in such a state it doth remaine:
And since that time hath changed (to be plaine)
A Shepherd to offend and trouble me,
Merrie and pleasant I could neuer be.
