The Lovers delight OR A pleasant Pastorall Sonnet To a new Court Tune COme love le ts walke into the springe where wée will heare the blackbird singe 〈◊〉 Robin Redbrest and the Thrush the nightingale on thornie bush Their musick swéetely Carcowling that to my love Content may bring In yonder dale there are swéete flowers with many pleasant shadie bowers ●●●●ling brooke with silver streames all beautified with Phebus beames I stood behind a trée for feare To sée Dyana bathe her there 〈◊〉 where the nimph with all her traine comes tripping ore the Packe a maine In yonder grove there will they stay at barlie-breake to sport and playe Where wée will sitt us downe and sée faire beautie mixt with Chastitée The ●uthfull shephard with delight Will tune a pleasant o●ten pipe 〈…〉 with heavenly note will stretch and straine her varie throate 〈…〉 and cleare their nimphs will sing that hills and vallies all will ringe The shepheard Stephan with his friend the faithfull Elayes will attend My playe before the Quéene to prove who best deserves Vranias love A most strange sight there shall you sée rivalls of love and amitie Menalcas and Amintas young brave Coridon and Thersis strong Your minds would unto pleasure move to have them plead for Phillis love Iudge of these tryumphs who shall be but the faire Quéene of chastity Under the shade of yonder pine you sée a Royall throne devine Prepared for the Iudge to sit the Quéene of beauty and of wit Wise Pallas in her Majesty the pavid Iudge is chose to be The Quéene of love is banisht there For feare that Phaebe take offence Her wanton sonne must not come there nor Cylharea once appeare It grieves my heart to thinke that shée from this aspect exempt must be For if the Quéene of love should spie the splendour of thy heavenly eye Shée should perswade her winged Sonne to wound thy heart as hée hath done My silly breast with dreade and feare but O the chaince shée is not here Sée where the wood-Nimphs rankt do stand with each a garland in her hand Compact of mix and swéete bayes for who deserved the chiefest prayse In pleading of their passions here the Lawrell Crowne away must beare Upon this 〈◊〉 of vyolets blew a seate most 〈◊〉 for lovers true Here may wée sit us downe and sée love tryumph is his Majesty By the swéete 〈◊〉 that are sung wée shall 〈◊〉 who suffred wrong But stay the Iudges comes to sit the 〈◊〉 of chastity and wit The 〈…〉 all are ready here in comly habits to appeare All wrongs here righted wée shall sée by the faire Queene of chastity The second part To the same tune SWeet heart come tel me whose soft layes in your conceit deserves most prayse Or who did set forth passions best how Cupid wounded his breste I know you hade noted all that 's past from the first m●● unto the last Me thought it great content did bring to heare the Shepheards carrowling To Crowne Cilra●● made her choise Menalcas for his 〈◊〉 voyce Which glory did small pleasure move since Coridon had Phillis love To wrastle and throw barres of length all men gave place to Thersis strength His stedfast footing none could move yet for all this hée lost his love No strength or harmony of voyce could Phillis move to make her choyce If it had rested in my power there to have chose a paramour Hée whom I thought deserv'd most grace was young Amintas whose swéet face And nimble féete could not be matcht the Deities I feare were catcht Did you not note how Pallas swore the like shée never saw before Had Meliager made such hast Athlanta had the wager lost In token of deserved praise she crowned him with lasting bayes Then Phaebe unto Phillis said to make thy choise be not afraide For if I were the Nimph to choose Amintas I would not refuse But all in vaine they did exhort for Corridon had Phillis hearte Both Pallas and Diana chast did almost straine with breathles hast Who could their prayses farther heape on young Amintas and his shéepe His person gesture and his grace they did applaud and his swéete face But tell mée love the reason why 〈◊〉 Phillis with the Christall eye Did all the youthfull swaines refuse and Corridon a love did chuse Since they in beauty did excell and for each prayse did heare the bell It séemes the beauty of the mind did in this case strike Phillis blind His eloquence of tongue and wit in place whereas the Iudge did sit Was his chiefe gaine and their foule losse Vlisses so had Ajax crosse But one thing much doth make mée muse why swéete Vrania did refuse Her two beloved Ryvalls there in whom such friendship did appeare That stil they wil'd her with one voyce in friendly wise to make her choyce How prettily they laid the ground how shée at first their heart did wound When shée by them her Neate did keepe and leaving the man halfe a sleepe Her bird out of her pocket runne and unto Strephans hand did come The pretty neatresse did awake heareing her fluttering bird escape And unto Strephans hand did hye he did restore imediatly Her bird and eke his heart she got and in her snow white bosome put The silly bird but for his love his passions could in no wayes move 〈◊〉 for himselfe nor his trew friend as it appeared in the end That neither party should grow wroth shée most unkinde refused them both And now mée thinkes the sun growes low If you be 〈◊〉 your friends will know 〈◊〉 you and I have béene alone which to 〈…〉 bring you home To part it is a second hell loth to depart 〈…〉 farewell FINIS Printed at London for Francis Coules
