Daphnis and Chloe Excellently describing the weight of affection, the simplicitie of loue, the purport of honest meaning, the resolution of men, and disposition of Fate, finished in a Pastorall, and interlaced with the praises of a most peerlesse Princesse, wonderfull in Maiestie, and rare in perfection, celebrated within the same Pastorall, and therefore termed by the name of The Shepheards Holidaie.

[What may I call the sweete whence springs my sweetest ioy]
What may I call the sweete whence springs my sweetest ioy,Or wherein rests that on such sweete depends so great annoy.
How haps that where I touch the aire hath sweetest breath
And in the selfe-same fume I find my cause of death
Whence sues that where I liue where most delight I see
In selfe-same mood my life consumes, & ioies confounded bee
Whereon engendred is the heat that breeds the flame
Sith tempered is with sweetest blasts the cause that mooues the same
What phisicke may I finde what art to cure the sore,
Which guided by the aide it seekes the wound makes still the more
