Philamis Barginet.

Happie Phœbus in thy flower,
On thy teares so sweetly feeding:
VVhen she spyeth thy heart bleeding,
Sorrow dooth hir heart deuoure.
Oh that I might Phœbus bee,
So my Clitia loued me.
When with glorie thou doost rise,
Foorth his faire to showe she putteth:
When in west thy glorie shutteth,
Clitia shuts, hir beautie dies.
VVere my mistresse such as she,
Oh that I might Phœbus be.
Phœbus beautie did allure
His faire flower at first to loue him:
And till time from heauen remooue him,
Clitias glorie shall endure.
Oh that I might Phœbus bee,
So my Clitia loued me.
Thou that houldest in thy hande,
Natures glorie, Phœbus treasure:
Now obserue the selfe same measure,
For I burne in selfe same bande.
VVere my mistres such as she,
Oh that I might Phœbus be.
