CANTVS. XVII.

〈♫〉〈♫〉 COme away, come away, arm'd with loues de- lights, Thy sprightfull graces 〈♫〉〈♫〉 〈♫〉〈♫〉 bring with thee, When loue and longing fights, They must the sticklers be. Come quickly, come, the 〈♫〉〈♫〉 〈♫〉〈♫〉 promis'd houre is wel-nye spent, And pleasure being too much deferr'd looseth her best contents. 〈♫〉〈♫〉
