Gorbo.

WEll met good wynken, whither doest thou wend?
How hast thou far'd sweet shepherd many a yeer?
May vvynken thus his daies in darkenes spend?
Who I haue knowne for piping had no peere?

Where been those fayre flocks thou wert wont to guide?
What? been they dead? or hap'd on some mischance,
Or mischiefe hath their master else betide,
Or Lordly Loue hath cast thee in a trance.

What man? lets still be merie whilst we may,
And take a truce with sorrow for a time,
And let vs passe this wearie winters day,
In reading Riddles, or in making rime.
