[XXIII. Deare if you wish, my dying]
Deare if you wish, my dying, In vaine your wish redownds
Deare if you wish, my dying, In vaine your wish redownds,
in vaine your prayer, for can hee die that breath's not vitall ayer?
Then with those eyes that slew mee, new life infuseing, renew
mee: So shall we both obtaine our wished pleasure, our wished
pleasure, you my death ioying, and I my lifes sweet treasure.
[XXIIII. Faire Hebe, when dame Flora meets]
Faire
Hebe, when dame Flora meets
Faire
Hebe, when dame Flora meets,
dame Flora meets, she trips and leapes,
as gallants doe, Vp to the hills and downe againe,
to the vallaies runs shee too and fro: But
out alas, when frosty locks begirds the head, with cark and care,
Peace, laugh no more, let prancks goe by, slow crauling
age forbids such ware. slow crauling age forbids such ware.
[XXVI. Thirsis, Thirsis, on his faire Phillis brest reposing]
Thirsis
, Thirsis, on his faire Phillis brest reposing
Thirsis
, Thirsis, on his faire Phillis brest reposing, sweetly
did languish, when shee in loues sweet anguish,
him kissing gently, said thus, with sugred glosing.
Thirsis O tell me, thy true loue best approued, art not thou, my best beloued, Then
hee, then hee, which to her hart was euer neerest: kist her againe, & said,
and said, Yes, yes Lady deerest.
[XXVII. Merely my loue & I]
Merely my loue & I, vpon the plains were sporting
Merely my loue & I, vpon the plains were sporting,
chearfully the Nimphs & Faunes, oft times to vs resorted, sorrow did not vs assaile, wee tasted of each pleasure,
happie those, that may with vs haue part of loues rich treasure.yes yes Lady deerest.
[XXVIII. Mvsicke some think no Musick is]
Mvsicke some think no Musick is
Mvsicke some think no Musick is, vnlesse shee sing of clip and kisse, of clip and kisse, And bring to
wanton tunes, fie fie, to wanton tunes fie fie; Or tihha
taha or ile crie: but let such rimes no more disgrace, Musicke sprung of heauenly race.
FINIS.
