[The open fieldes, the meadovves fresh and greene]
The
open fieldes, the meadovves fresh and greene
Their colour and their signe of hope had lost,
Hauing not Syluan, and Seluagia seene,
With vvhose svveete presence they did alvvaies bost.
Their colour and their signe of hope had lost,
Hauing not Syluan, and Seluagia seene,
With vvhose svveete presence they did alvvaies bost.
The goodly vales and hils vvere hard and dried,
Without the steps, that novv doth make them glad,
Shepherds and sheepe in melancholie died,
Depriued of their songs, that once they had.
Without the steps, that novv doth make them glad,
Shepherds and sheepe in melancholie died,
Depriued of their songs, that once they had.
Now all with pride will shew their ioies againe,
All will reioice, as once they did before:
The hill, the vale, the field, the meade, and plaine,
For merry spring and sommer they restore:
Welcome Seluagia then, your ioyfull spring,
And her Syluanus, that doth sommer bring.
