A Dialogue betwixt Phillis and Clorillo.
I prethee keep my sheep for mePhilis.
I prethee keep my sheep for me: Clorillo, wilt thou, tell?
Clorillo.
First, let me have a kiss of thee, and I will keep them well.
Phillis.
If thou a while but to my little flock will look, thou shalt have this imbroidred skrip and silver hook.
69
No other favour or reward I crave, but one poor kisse.
Phillis.
A kisse thou must not have.
Clorillo.
And why?
Phillis.
Such enticements Maids must fly: this Garland thou shalt have of Roses and of Lillies.
Clorillo.
Nor Skrip, nor Hook, nor Garland sweetest Phillis, do I require, to kisse thy fresh and Rosie lip is onely my desire.
Phillis.
Take then a kisse, and let me goe, till I return thy care upon my flocks bestow.
Chorus
together.
Sweet sweet is that kisse that doth with true and just desire as much another give, as to it self require.
