INDEX OF FIRST LINES.

A choir of bright beauties in spring did appear,
A Paradise on earth is found,

A shepeheard's boy, (no better doe him call,)-
A turtle sat upon a leafless tree,

A woodman, fisher, and a swain,

Admire not, Shepherd's Boy, -

Ah, what is love? It is a pretty thing,

All ye that lovely lovers be,

All ye woods, and trees, and bowers,

147

Amidst the fairest mountain tops,

45

And are you there old Pas! in troth, I ever thought,

And as within a landscape that doth stand,

- 162

And now all nature seem'd in love;

Art thou poor, yet hast thou golden slumbers?
As it fell upon a day,

Beauty sat bathing in a spring,

Beneath a meadow bridge, whose arch was dry,

Beneath the shade a spreading beech displays,
Beneath the south side of a craigy bield,

- 257

-

Ceres, most bounteous lady, thy rich leas,
Come hither, shepherd's swain!
Come, live with me, and be my love;
Come, live with me, and be my love,
Come, sons of summer, by whose toil,
Come, we shepherds, who have seen,
Contented I then will I sing his laye,
Corydon, arise, my Corydon, -

Crabbed age and youth cannot live together,-

Damon, come drive thy flocks this way,

Diaphenia like the daffadowndilly,

89

Fair and fair, and twice so fair,

-

Far in the country of Arden, -
First shall the heavens want starry light,
Flora hath been all about,

Flora, well met, and for thy taken pain,

For a kiss or two, confess,

Get up, get up for shame, the blooming morn,

Glide soft, ye silver floods,

Good-day, Mirtillo,

Good Muse, rock me asleep,

Gorbo, as thou camest this way,

Hark how the mower Damon sung,

Haymakers, rakers, reapers, and mowers,

Here she was wont to go! and here! and here!
Hither! hither!

How languisheth the primrose of love's garden?
How vainly men themselves amaze,

I care not for these ladies,

I love, and he loves me again,

I, with whose colours Myra dress'd her head,
If all the world and love were young,

In the merry month of May,
In the time when herbs and flowers,
In time of yore when shepherds dwelt,
Is not thilke the mery moneth of May,
It chanced of late a shepherd's swain,
It was a lover and his lass,

It was frosty winter season,

It was near a thicky shade,

It will be rare, rare, rare!

Jack and Joan, they think no ill,

Like to Diana in her summer-weed,

Live, live with me, and thou shalt see,

Lo! Collin, here the place whose pleasaunt syte,
Look, as two little brothers, who address'd,
Love guides the roses of thy lips, -

Mira, thine eyes are those twin heavenly powers,

My banks they are furnish'd with bees,

My sheep are thoughts which I both guide and serve;

Near to the silver Trent,

Now as an angler melancholy standing,
Now each creature joys the other,
Nymphs and shepherds, dance no more,

O happy, golden age!

O Karol, Karol, call him back again,
O May, thou art a merry time,

O shady vales, O fair enriched meads,

O Tityrus, thy plaint is over-long, -

O'er the smooth enamell'd green,
Oh! what a plague is love,

-

Shepherds all, and maidens fair,
Shepherds, rise, and shake off sleep!
Shepherd, what's love, I pray thee tell?

Silly swain, sit down and weep,

Sir, welcome:

Sit down, Carmela; here are cobs for kings,
Spring, the sweet spring, is the year's pleasant king;
Sweet are the thoughts that savour of content;

The daisy scatter'd on each mead and down,
The earth, late choked with showers,

The lad Philisides,

This battle fares like to the morning's war,

This mossy bank they press'd.

This world is made a Hell,

Thou divinest, fairest, brightest,

Thrice, O, thrice happy shepherd's life and state!
Thus, thus begin the yearly rites,

Thy younglings, Cuddy, are but just awake,
Two nights thus pass'd: the lily-handed morn,

Under an aged oak was Willy laid,

What bird so sings, yet so does wail?

What, have you let the false enchanter 'scape?

What voice is that? my young Lord? speak again,
When daisies pied and violets blue,

When death shall snatch us from these kids,

When Virgil thought no shame the Doric reed,
Who can live in heart so glad,

Yea; but no man now is still,

Ye little birds that sit and sing,

Ye living lamps by whose dear light,

Ye nymphs of Solyma! begin the song,

Yet once more, O ye laurels, and once more, -
You, that at a blush can tell, -
