[XXIIII. The second part. Now twinkling starrs.]

Now twinkling starres do smile

Now twinkling starres do smile, & dance, & play thē, Their lights increased, & heauens, all new array them, To honor Melibœus, that did obay them. Tityrus leaue lamenting, & to bewayle him, that is plac't in heauen, wher ioy for nothing now can quaile him: where ioy shall neuer faile him: And death go pack thee: for nothing now can quaile him.
