¶Philon the Sheepheard, his Song.

WHile that the Sunne with his beames hot, Scorched the fruites in vale and mountaine: Philon the Sheepheard late forgot, Sitting besides a Christall Fountaine: In shaddow of a greene Oake tree, Vpon his Pipe this Song plaid he. Adiew Loue, adiew Loue, vntrue Loue, Vntrue Loue, vntrue Loue, adiew Loue: Your minde is light, soone lost for new loue.
So long as I was in young sight, I was as your hart, your soule, and treasure: And euermore you sob'd and sigh'd, Burning in flames beyond all measure. Three dayes endured your loue to me: And it was lost in other three. Adiew Loue, adiew Loue, vntrue Loue. &c.
Another Sheepheard you did see, To whom your hart was soone enchained: Full soone your loue was leapt from me, Full soone my place he had obtained.

Page [unnumbered]

Soone came a third, your loue to win: And we were out, and he was in. Adiew Loue. &c.
Sure you haue made me passing glad, That you your minde so soone remoued: Before that I the leysure had, To choose you for my best beloued. For all my loue was past and done: Two dayes before it was begun. Adiew Loue. &c.
Out of M. Birds set Songs.
FINIS.
