For worth becomes Dorindas worthinesse,
Pipe will I still for I can doe no lesse,
And when my pipe is broken I will take
A shriller pipe for my Dorindas sake.
Pastor pasce boues, mea fistula cantet amores, &c.
Take out that reed, it doth not please my loue,
It is too slow a straine for her swift course,
She loues not that which will not quickly moue,
And cut the aire like to a foaming horse,
That runs his station with a vehement course,
Such steeds would well beseeme my lady queene
That runs her courser with an easie reine.
Sic mea laxatis currit habenis
Hyppodame equis: quorum spumantia freuis
colla torquet.
—et tu tibi Myrtile fatae
digna refers.—ibid.
