[XIII. Chast Syrinx fled, feare hasting on her pace]
Chast
Syrinx fled
Chast
Syrinx fled, chast Syrinx fled, feare hasting on her
pace, hasting, hasting on her pace, With loosed
haire, and teare bedewed face, and teare bedewed
face, Wearie God wot, And Pan behinde her,
and Pan behinde, and Pan behinde her nye, Pan behinde her nye,
She fills the woods with many a drery, drery cry,
The gods did see, and seeme her case to mourne,
And into reeds, her dainty, dainty
limbs transforme, So now she makes, she makes, so now she
makes most ioyous, ioyous melody,
For ioy she kept her lou'd virginitie.
[XIIII. Come Shepheards weeds, attend my wofull cryes]
Come Shepheards weeds, attend my wofull cryes
Come Shepheards weeds, attend my wofull cryes, come
Shepheards weeds attend my wofull cryes, Disuse your selues from sweet Mænalcas
voyce, disuse your selues from sweet Mænalcas voyce, Mænalcas voyce,
For other be those tunes, for other be those tunes
which sorrow tyes, which sorrow tyes, which sorrow tyes,
From those cleare notes which freely may reioyce,
Then power out plaint, and in one
word say this, Helplesse his plaint
who spoyles himselfe of blisse.
[XV. Crowned with flowers I saw faire Amarillis]
Crowned with flowers, with flowers
Crowned with flowers, with flowers,
I saw faire Amarillis, Amarillis by Thersis sit, Hard
by a fount of Christall, And with her hand more white
then snow or lillies, on sand she wrote, My faith shall be immortall,
But sodainly a
storme, but sodainly a storme of winde & weather, Blue all her
faith, blue all her faith and sand away together. But sodainly a
storme of winde and weather, Blue all her faith and sand away together.
XVI. An Elegie on the death of his Worshipfull friend, Master Thomas Purcell of
Dunhill, Esquire, in Salop.
Weepe sad Vrania, weepe
Weepe sad Vrania, weepe, For thou hast
lost thy deare, And now must fixe
thy sacred loue elsewhere,
For he that lately made thy numbers eu'n, for he that lately made thy
numbers eu'n, Forsaking earth, is
now possest, possest of heau'n, is now possest of heauen,
Where he though dead still liues with God on hye,
He found, he found, we lost, we lost, He sings, he sings, we
sigh and dye.
[XVII. O Gratious God, pardon my great offence]
O gratious God, pardon, pardon my great offence
O gratious God, pardon, pardon my great offence, pardon,
pardon my great, my great offence, O pardon my great offence,
Increase my faith, renue thy
spirit, thy spirit of grace, renue thy spirit of grace, Inuest me with thy Christ his
innocence, And from me Lord, turne not away thy face,
Let not my sinnes foule, foule, many, many, though
they be, they be, Make a diuorse betweene thy grace, and me.
[XVIII. Goe you skipping Kids and Fawnes]
Goe you skipping, skipping
Goe you skipping, skipping, skipping Kids and Fawnes, Exercise
your swift carriere, ouer pleasant fields and lawnes,
Rousing, rousing, rousing vp, rousing vp, rousing vp
the fearefull Deere, fearefull Deere, the feareful Deere, fearefull Deere,
Greet them all with what I sing,
Endlesse, endlesse, endlesse loue eternizing,
eternizing. Greet them all with what I sing,
Endlesse, endlesse, endlesse loue, eternizing, eternizing.
[XIX. Care for thy soule as thing of greatest price]
Care, for thy soule
as thing of greatest price
Care, for thy soule
as thing of greatest price, Made, made vnto the end to tast,
to tast, to tast of pow'r diuine, to tast, to tast,
of pow'r diuine, Deuoid of guilt, deuoid of guilt, abhorring sinne and
vice, Apt by Gods grace to vertue to incline,
Care for it so, as by thy retchlesse traine, It be not brought to tast eternall paine.
[XX. Drowne not with teares, my deerest loue]
Drowne not with teares
Drowne not with teares, drowne not with teares, my deerest
loue, Those eyes which my affections moue, which my affections moue, Doe not with
weeping those lights blinde, Which me in thy subiection
binde, which me in thy subiection binde, subiection binde, Time that hath made vs
two of one, of one, hath made vs two of one, And forst thee now to liue alone,
Will once againe vs revnite, revnite, vs revnite, To shew
how she can fortune spight.
Here endeth the Songs of fiue Parts.
