[XXI. Deare Shepheardesse, thou art more louely faire]

Deare Shepheardesse, thou art more louely

Deare Shepheardesse, thou art more louely, more louely faire, Then the both Roses in the prime of May, Thou art more tender, sweet, without compare, without compare, Then the bright Morning, at the breake of day, But vnto me that doe thy praise declare, More cold and dead, more cold and dead, then the most cold dismay. most cold dismay.



[XXII. Cruell Pabrilla with thine angrie looke]

Cruell Pabrilla with thine angrie looke

Cruell Pabrilla with thine angrie looke, Thou euer, euer hold'st my soule in alteration, And of the pleasure that I whilome, and of the pleasure that I whilome tooke, In my faire flockes, thy threats are depriuation, Thee I more loue then hill or valley brooke, valley, valley brooke, Or thriftie, thriftie, thriftie shadow, shadow, my flocks delectation, But yet my sight, but yet my sight more hatefull is to thee, Then thornes or nettles to thy white feet be.



[XXIIII. O softly singing Lute]

O softly, softly, singing Lute

O softly, softly, singing Lute, O softly, singing Lute, See with my teares, thou Time doe keepe, Yet softly, gentle strings, yet softly, softly gentle strings, Agree with loue, that cannot sleepe, Sorrow hy'st, when as it sings, When teares doe fall, then sighes arise, So griefe oft shines, in most sad eyes, Yea loue, through hart it dies, through hart it dies.



[XXV. O Praise the Lord all ye Heathen]

[XXVI. Svrcease you youthfull shepheardesses all

A dialogue.

]

Svrcease you youthfull shepheardesses all

Svrcease you youthfull shepheardesses all, Fond folly, breeding loue so sensuall,

Stint then our strife, content'on, be content, Loue in it selfe, maintaines an argument.



Loue be propitious, Shepheardesdes sing, Olympus likes and loues our Caroling.

FINIS.
