¶Coridon and Melampus Song.

Cor.
MElampus, when will Loue be void of feares?
Mel.
When Ielousie hath neither eyes nor eares.
Cor.
Melampus, when will Loue be throughly shrieued?
Mel.
When it is hard to speake, and not belieued.
Cor.
Melampus, when is Loue most male content?
Mel.
When Louers range, and beare their bowes vnbent.
Cor.
Melampus, tell me, when takes Loue least harme?
Mel.
When Swaines sweet pipes are puft, and Truls are warme.
Cor.
Melampus, tell me, when is Loue best fed?
Mel.
When it hath suck'd the sweet that ease hath bred.
Cor.
Melampus, when is time in Loue ill spent?
Mel.
When it earnes meed, and yet receaues no rent.
Cor.
Melampus, when is time well spent in Loue?
Mel.
When deeds win meeds, and words Loue workes doe proue.
FINIS.

Geor. Peele.
