[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.
