[I. Come shepheard swaynes that wont to heare me sing]

Come shepheard swaynes that wont to heare me sing

Come shepheard swaynes that wont to heare me sing, Now sigh and groane, Dead is my loue my hope, my ioy, my spring, Dead, dead & gone, dead is my loue, my hope, my ioy, my spring, O she that was your summers Queen your dayes delight, is gone and will no more be seene, O cruell spight, Breake all your Pipes that wont to sound with pleasant cheere, And cast your selues vpon the ground to waile my deere, to waile my deere, Come shepheard swaynes, Come Nimphs and all a roe, Come Nimphs and all a roe, to help me cry, Dead is my loue, Dead is my loue, And seeing she is so, loe now I dye, loe now I dye.

[II. Flourish ye hillockes]

Flourish ye hillockes set with fragrant flowers

Flourish ye hillockes set with fragrant flowers, So graced with her deity, whose eyes bedew you with their pearled showers, whose eyes bedew you with their pearled showers bewayling loues impiety. Happy yee are, be prodigall disposed, disdaine not loues lamenting, Let me, but kisse those steps, those steps where she reposed, to ease my harts tormenting, to ease my harts tormenting, then while she flyes me, here I lye and languish, sounding my sorrowes, sorrowes, tun'd in notes of anguish. tun'd in notes, tun'd in notes, of anguish.

[III. Ah, cruell Amarillis]

Ah, cruell Amarillis

Ah, cruell Amarillis, since thou takst delight, to heare the accents of a dolefull dittie, dittie, of a dolefull dittie, To triumph, still without remorse or pittie, I loath this life, Death must my sorrowes right, And least vaine hope, my miseries renue, Come quickly death, reaue me of breath, (Ah) cruell Amarillis, Cruell Amarillis, Amarillis, cruell Amarillis, cruell adew, adew.

[IIII. So light is loue]

So light is loue, in matchles beautie shining

So light is loue, in matchles beautie shining, So light is loue in matchles beautie shining, When she reuisits Cypris hallowed bowers, Two feeble doues harnest in silken twining, harnest in silken twining, can draw her Chariot midst the Paphian flowers, can draw her Chariot midst the Paphian flowers, Lightnes to loue, how ill it fitteth? Lightnesse to loue how ill it fitteth? lightnesse to loue, lightnesse to loue how ill it sitteth? so heauie on my hart she sitteth. Lightnes to loue how ill it fitteth? lightnes to loue, how ill it fitteth? lightnes to loue, how ill it fitteth? so heauy on my hart, (O) on my hart she sitteth.

[V. As faire as morne]

As faire as morne, as fresh as May

As faire as morne, as fresh as May, A pretty grace in saying nay, Smil'st thou sweet hart? then sing and say, Ta na na no, Ta na na na, &c. But (O) that loue inchanting eye, Loe here my doubtful doome I try, But (O) that loue enchanting eye, Loe here my doubtfull doome I try, my doubtfull doome I try. Tell me my sweet, liue I or dye? Tell me my sweet, liue I or dye? She smiles, Fa la la, &c. Ah, she frownes, Aye me, Aye me I dye, I dye.

[VI. O what shall I doe]

O what shall I doe, or whether shall I turne me?

O what shall I doe, or whether shall I turne me? Shall I make vnto her eyes? O no they'l burn me, Shall I seale vp my eies & speak my part? then in a floud of tears, I drown my hart, for tears being stopt will swel, wil swel, will swel for scope, though they o'reflow, loue, life, and hope, By beauties eye Ile chuse to dye. At thy feet I fall fayre Creature, rich in beautie, And for pitty call, for pittie call, O kill not loue and duty, Let thy smooth tongue fanne on my sence thy breath, to stay thine eies from burning me to death. But if mercy be exiled from a thing so fayre compiled,

[VII. I Liue, and yet me thinks I doe not breath]

I liue, and yet me thinks I doe not breath

I liue, and yet me thinks I doe not breath; and yet me thinks I do not breath; I thirst, and drinke; I drinke and thirst againe; I sleep & yet I dreame I am awake; I hope for that I haue; I haue and want, I sing & sigh; I loue and hate at once, I sing and sigh, I loue and hate at once. O tell me restlesse soule, What vncouth iarre doth cause such want in store? doth cause such want in store, in peace such warre? Doth cause such want in store, in peace such warre? then patiently by thee Ile dye. Ile dye.

[VIII. There is a iewell]

Risposta.

There is a iewell

There is a iewell, there is a iewell which no Indian mines can buy, no Chimick art can counterfait, It makes men rich in greatest pouertie, It makes men rich, it makes men rich in greatest pouertie, in greatest pouertie; Makes water wine; turnes wooden cups to gould; makes water wine, turnes wooden cups to gould, The homely whistle, to sweet musicks straine, the homely whistle, the homely whistle, to sweet musicks straine, Seldome it comes to few from heauen sent, seldome it comes, to few from heauen sent, That much in little all in naught.
