Song to 5. voices
[XIII. Those sweet delightful Lillies]
Those sweet delightful Lillies
Those sweet delightful Lillies, which nature gaue my Phillis:
Those sweet delightful Lillies, my Phillis:
Ay mee, my Phillis each houre makes mee to languish:
So greeuous is my paine and anguish.
Aye mee my Phillis, each houre makes mee to languish. So greeuous is my
paine and anguish.
[XIIII. And must I needs depart then]
And must I needs depart then
And must I needs depart then, can pittie none come nye her:
farewell, alas desert then, deseart then: O break asunder heart to satisfie her.
[XV. Sweet Gemma, when I first beheld]
Sweet
Gemma, when I first beheld thy beautie
Sweet
Gemma, when I first beheld thy beautie, I
vow'd thee seruice, honour, loue, and dutie, Oh then,
blest then I saide, the best: is hither come, to make mee blest, but thou alas,
sweet, thou dost not regard, my vow, goe let mee not see,
Cruell though fayrest thee.
[XVI. Yet stay alway, bee chained to my heart]
Yet stay alway, bee chained to my heart
Yet stay alway, bee chained to my heart,
with links of loue, that wee doe neuer part:
Then Ile not call thee Serpent, Tiger cruell,
But my sweet Gemma and my dearest Iuell.
[XVII. Strange were the life, that eu'rie man would like]
Strange were the life, that eu'rie man would like
Strange were the life, that eu'rie man would like,
more strange the state, that should mislike each one, rare were the
Iemme, that eu'rie one would seeke, and little worth, that
all would let alone, sweet were the meat, that eu'rie
one would choose, and sowre the sause, that all men would refuse.
[XVIII. Alas, alas, where is my Loue? where is my sweeting?]
Alas, alas, where is my Loue? where is my sweeting?
Alas, alas, where is my Loue? where is my sweeting?
That hath stolne away my hart, god send vs meeting: that renuing my lament, with friendly greeting,
She may release my smart, & all my weeping: But if my sight she flie, till hartles I die,
My grieued ghost with shrikes & dreadful crying, alwaies about her flying, shal murmure out
complayning, to be reuēg'd of al her deep disdayning.
[XIX. O flie not Loue, O flie not mee]
O flie not Loue, O flie not mee
O flie not Loue, O flie not mee, stay but a while,
while, O stay thee, & heare a wretch complaining, his griefe through
thy disdaining: O do not thus, vnfriendly vse
mee, to kisse mee once and so refuse mee.
[XX. Who prostate lies at Womens feete]
Who prostrate lies at Womens feete
Who prostrate lies at Womens feete, And cals them darlings deare and
sweet, Protesting loue and
crauing grace, and praising oft a foolish face, are often times deceiu'd at last, then catch at naught and hould it
fast.
[XXI. Sister awake close not your eies]
Sister awake close not your eies
Sister awake close not your eies, the day her light discloses, and the bright morning doth arise, Out of her bed of Roses: See,
the cleere Sunne, the worlds bright Eie, in at our window peeping:
peeping, Loe how he blusheth, to espie vs idle wenches sleeping, therfore awake
make hast I say, and let vs without staying, all in our gowns of greene so gaye,
into the Parke a Maying.
[XXII. Hark, heare you not a heauenly harmony]
Hark, heare you not a heauenly harmony
Hark, heare you not a heauenly harmony,
Ist Ioue think you, that plaies vpon the Spheres, Heuens
is not this a heauenly melody, wher Ioue himself a part in Musick beares. Now comes in
a quire of Nightingales: Mark, how the Nimphs & shepherds of the dales, how all do
ioyne together in the praise of Orianæs life & happy daies
Then sing ye sheperds & Nimphs of Diana, In heauen liues Oriana.
Heere endeth the songs of 5. parts.
