[V. Faire shepherds queene.]

Faire shepherds Queene

Faire shepherds Queene, let vs hand in hand inchained, dance vp and down ye greene, like frends vnfained, And merily recount our happie daies, While my tender flock clymes vp the mount, & ther staies: And shepherds all, come & follow me, praising Amarillis, All but Amintas, whose onely ioy is Phillis.
