VIII.The Gods haue heard my vowes

[1]

The Gods haue heard my vowes,
Fond Lyce, whose faire browes
Wont scorne with such disdaine,
My loue, my teares my paine
Fa la la la.

2

But now those spring-tide roses,
are turnde to winter poses,
to Rue, and time, and sage,
fitting that shriuled age,
Fa la la la, &c.

3

Now youthes with hote desire,
See, see that flamelesse fire,
Which erst your hearts so burned,
quicke into ashes turned.
Fa la la la &c,
