Words I spent,
Sighs I sent,
sighs and words could neuer draw her,
Oh my Loue,
Thou art lost,
since no sight could euer ease thee.
Phaebe sate
By a Fount,
sitting by a Fount I spide her,
Sweet her touch,
Rare her voyce,
touch and voyce, what may distaine you?
As she sung,
I did sigh,
And by sighs whilst that I tride her,
Oh mine eyes
You did loose,
her first sight whose want did paine you.
Phaebes Flocks
White as wooll,
yet were Phoebes lookes more whiter,
Phaebes eyes
Doue-like mild,
Doue-like eyes both mild and cruell,
Montane sweares
In your Lamps,
he will die for to delight her,
Phaebe yeeld
Or I die,
shall true hearts be fancies fuell?
FINIS.
