Philon the Shepheard, his Song.

VVHile that the Sunne with his beames hot, Scorched the fruites in vale and mountaine: Philon the Shepheard late forgot, Sitting besides a Christall Fountaine: In shaddow of a greene Oake-tree, Vpon his Pipe this Song plaid hee. 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 your sight, I was your heart, your soule, and treasure: And euermore you sob'd and sigh'd, Burning in flames beyond all measure. Three dayes endur'd your loue to me: And it was lost in other three. Adiew Loue, adiew Loue, vntrue Loue, &c.
Another Shepheard you did see, To whom your heart was soone enchained: Full soone your loue was leapt from me, Full soone my place he had obtained. 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 leasure had, To choose you for my best beloued. For all your loue was past and done: Two dayes before it was begun. Adiew Loue, &c.
FINIS.

Out of M. Birds set Songs.
