[III. Farewell cruell & vnkind]

Farewell cruell & vnkind

Farewell cruell & vnkind, Alone will I waile me, And till my lifethred be vntwinde: Then my poore ghost still weeping, Shall thus disturb thee sleeping: O Amarillis, ô Amarillis, why art thou prowder then sweet Phillis, In whose faire face are placed two louely starres, wherwith heauen is disgraced.
