[XIII. Thirsis, O let, let pittie, pittie]

Thirsis , O let, let pittie

Thirsis , O let, let pittie, pittie, O let some pittie moue thee, let, pittie, Thirsis, pittie moue thee: thou knowst (ô alas) thy Cloris too too well, thou knowst doth loue thee, thou knowst, (ô alas) to well doth loue thee, yet thou vnkind dost flye mee, I faint, alas, O I faint, heere must, heere must I lye mee, I faint alas, O I faint, heere must, heere must I lye mee: Crye alas now for griefe, since hee is beereft thee, vp the hills downe the Dales, the hills and dales downe, vp hill and downe, I haue not left, not left thee. Ah, can these trickling teares of mine, trickling teares, these teares no whit procure loue? Ah, can these trickling teares, these teares of mine, no whit



procure loue? What Shepheard euer kild a Nimphe, what Shepheard euer kild a Nimph for pure loue? See cruell, See the beasts, their teares reward mee: yet thou dost not regard mee.
