VIII. Thirsis?
Thirsis? sleepest thou?Holla, Holla, Holla,
Let not sorrow slay vs,
Hold vp thy head man,
(Said the gentle Melibeus,
See Sommer comes againe,
The countries pride adorning,
(Cuckoe Cuckoe singeth)
Harke how the Cuckoe singeth,
(Cuckoe) this faire April morning.
April O said ye sheepherd & sight,
As one all vndon,
Let me alone alas, & driue him backe to London.
