¶Coridons supplication to Phillis.

SWeet Phillis, if a silly Swaine, may sue to thee for grace: See not thy louing Shepheard slaine, with looking on thy face. But thinke what power thou hast got, vpon my Flocke and mee: Thou seest they now regard me not, but all doe follow thee. And if I haue so farre presum'd, with prying in thine eyes: Yet let not comfort be consum'd, that in thy pitty lyes. But as thou art that Phillis faire, that Fortune fauour giues: So let not Loue dye in despaire, that in thy fauour liues. The Deere doe brouse vpon the bryer, the Birds doe picke the Cherries: And will not Beautie graunt Desire, one handfull of her berries? If it be so that thou hast sworne, that none shall looke on thee: Yet let me know thou dost not scorne, to cast a looke on mee. But if thy beautie make thee proud, thinke then what is ordain'd. The heauens haue neuer yet alow'd, that Loue should be disdain'd. Then lest the Fates that fauour Loue, should curse thee for vnkinde:

Let me report for thy behooue, the honour of thy minde, Let Coridon with full consent, set downe what he hath seene: That Phillida with Loues content, is sworne the Shepheards Queene.
FINIS.
