To Celinda.

1

Come Celinda, come away,
Sweet Celinda do not stay,
Bless our longing longing-eyes,
Harken to your Shepherd's cries,
That doth vow,
To allow
Every year unto that day
Such a thankfull Sacrifice,
As he 'th sworn for to slay
Half his Flock: come, come away.

2

And when my Celinda shall
Make me happy by a call,
Saying Shepherd now I come,
See Alexis be at home;
Then I'le make,
For her sake
A Holy-day throughout the Vale.
Giving all my Flock to some
Shepherd, that hath known all
My love. I hear Celinda call.
