¶The Shepheard Damons passion.
AH trees, why fall your leaues so fast?Ah Rockes, where are your roabes of mosse?Ah Flocks, why stand you all agast?Trees, Rocks, and Flocks, what, are ye pensiue for my losse?
The birds me thinkes tune naught but moane,The windes breath naught but bitter plaint:The beasts forsake their dennes to groane,Birds, Windes, and Beastes, what, doth my losse your powers attaint?
descriptionPage [unnumbered]
Floods weepe their springs aboue their bounds,And Eccho wailes to see my woe:The roabe of ruthe doth cloath the grounds,Floods, Eccho, grounds, why doe ye all these teares bestow?
The Trees, the Rocks and Flocks replie,The Birds, the Windes, the Beasts report:Floods, Eccho, grounds for sorrow crie,Wee greeue since Phillis nill kinde Damons loue consort.
FINIS.
Thom. Lodge.
