Taken with this suddaine Song, Least for mirth when he doth look His sad heart more deeply stong, Then the former care he tooke. At their laughter and amaz'd, For a while he sat aghast But a little hauing gaz'd, Thus he them bespake at last. Is this time for mirth (quoth he) 340 To a man with griefe opprest, Sinfull wretches as you be, May the sorrowes in my breast, Light vpon you one by one, And as now you mocke my woe, When your mirth is turn'd to moane; May your like then serue you so. When one Swaine among the rest Thus him merrily bespake, Get thee vp thou arrant beast 350 Fits this season loue to make? Take thy Sheephooke in thy hand, Clap thy Curre and set him on, For our fields 'tis time to stand, Or they quickly will be gon. Rougish Swinheards that repine At our Flocks, like beastly Clownes, Sweare that they will bring their Swine, And will wroote vp all our Downes: They their Holly whips haue brac'd, 360 And tough Hazell goades haue gott; Soundly they your sides will baste, If their courage faile them not. Of their purpose if they speed, Then your Bagpypes you may burne, It is neither Droane nor Reed Shepheard, that will serue your turne: Angry OLCON sets them on, And against vs part doth take Euer since he was out-gone, 370 Offring Rymes with us to make. Yet if so our Sheepe-hookes hold, Dearely shall our Downes be bought, For it neuer shall be told, We our Sheep-walkes sold for naught. And we here haue got vs Dogges, Best of all the Westerne breed, Which though Whelps shall lug their Hogges, Till they make their eares to bleed: Therefore Shepheard come away. 380 When as DORILVS arose, Whistles Cut-tayle from his play, And along with them he goes. FINIS. THE MVSES ELIZIVM The Description of Elizium A Paradice on earth is found, Though farre from vulgar sight, Which with those pleasures doth abound That it _Elizium_ hight. Where, in Delights that neuer fade, The Muses lulled be, And sit at pleasure in the shade Of many a stately tree, Which no rough Tempest makes to reele Nor their straight bodies bowes, 10 Their lofty tops doe neuer feele The weight of winters snowes;
