He beg'd her stay, he beg'd her stay, she still kept on, she

this you see, She rests transform'd, a winter beaten tree. But what reward she had for this you see, She rests transform'd, a winter beaten tree.

Of passions past, of passions past, and diuers things to
talke, He sighes, he sighes, she weepes, they kisse, they kisse, and both complaine,
they kisse, they kisse, and both complaine, And both of them would
some thing, some thing vtter faine,
But voice & words, were to them both denaid,
For they had nought to say that was not said,
But voice & words, were to them both denaid,
For they had nought to say that was not said.
[XII. You gentle Nymphs that on these meadowes play]
You gentle Nymphs that on these meadowes play
You gentle Nymphs that on these meadowes play, You gentle
Nymphs that on these meadowes play, And oft relate
the loues of Shepheards young,
Come, come, come sit you downe, come sit you, sit you downe,
for if you please to stay, Now may you heare an vncouth passion song,
A Lad there is, and I am that poore groome,
That's falne in loue,
and can not tell, and can not tell with whom.
Here endeth the Songs of foure Parts.
