<L><HI>PHillis</HI> on the new made hay</L>
<L>On a plea&s;ant Summers day,</L>
<L>She in a wanton po&s;ture lay</L>
<L>thinking no Shephard nigh her</L>
<L>Till <HI>Amintas</HI> came that way</L>
<L>and threw him&s;elf down by her.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>At the fir&s;t &s;he was amaz'd</L>
<L>And with blu&s;hes on him gaz'd</L>

<L>her &s;hape he did admire.</L>
<L>Her wanton dre&s;s, could do no le&s;e,</L>
<L>then &s;et his heart on fire.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>Then <HI>Amintas</HI> mildly said</L>
<L><HI>Phillis</HI> be not now afraid</L>
<L>But entertain, thy &s;hepherd &s;wain.</L>
<L>now we are met together,</L>
<L>Then I &s;hall prize thy &s;parkling eyes.</L>
<L>that did invite me hither.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>I have rang'd the Plains about</L>
<L>For to find my <HI>Phillis</HI> out</L>
<L>My flocks I left of joys bereft</L>
<L>Whil&s;t I for th&eacute;e did langui&s;h</L>
<L>Tis in thy will my heart to fill</L>
<L>with joy, or el&s;e with angui&s;h</L>

<L>Then fair <HI>Phillis</HI> frowning &s;aid,</L>
<L>My privacy thou ha&s;t betraid</L>
<L>Therefore be gone, let me alone</L>
<L>do not di&s;turb my plea&s;ure,</L>
<L>Nor do not move thy &s;ute of love,</L>
<L>but leave me to my lea&s;ure.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>Never yet did Shepheards Swain</L>
<L>On this &s;mooth Scicilian plain</L>
<L>Once dare to move my d&eacute;ep disdain</L>
<L>by &s;uch like bold intru&s;ion.</L>
<L>Then cea&s;e thy &s;uit 'tis but in vain</L>
<L>I &s;corn &s;uch fond delu&s;ion.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>When <HI>Amintas</HI> &s;&eacute;e her frown</L>
<L>Hoping &s;till his joys to crown</L>
<L>Quoth he my dear, as I am here</L>
<L>I like not this behavior,</L>
<L>Tis Lovers bli&s;s, to toy and ki&s;s</L>
<L>it wins a Maidens favor.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>Let us like the Ivy twine.</L>
<L>And our loves in one combine</L>
<L>Grim <HI>Pluto</HI> loved <HI>Pro&s;erpine</HI></L>
<L>her beauty did him fetter;</L>
<L>When thou art mine, &amp; I am thine,</L>
<L>I'l plea&s;e th&eacute;e ten times better</L>

<L>&s;till aimed at the centre</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L><HI>Phillis</HI> blu&s;ht as red as blood</L>
<L>When his mind &s;he under&s;tood</L>
<L>His bold intent for to prevent</L>
<L>&s;he us'd her be&s;t endeavor,</L>
<L>His re&s;olution it was bent</L>
<L>for he was loath to leave her.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>Hotly he per&s;ued the Game.</L>
<L>Whil&s;t his heart was on a flame</L>
<L>She cry'd pi&s;h nay fye for &s;hame</L>
<L>in faith you &s;hall not do it</L>
<L>But the youth her overcame</L>
<L>and eagerly fell to <GAP DESC="illegible" REASON="missing" EXTENT="1 letter">t.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>Thus &s;he &s;trived all in vain</L>
<L>Whil&s;t &s;he felt a plea&s;ing pain,</L>
<L>Yet he, by no means would refrain</L>
<L>but kindly did imbrace her,</L>
<L>He ki&s;t his love and told her plain</L>
<L>he never would di&s;grace her.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>In great rage &s;he flung away</L>
<L>Tumbling ore the new made hay</L>
<L>Whil&s;t he a&s;ham'd &amp; breathle&s;s lay</L>
<L>although he then di&s;pleas'd her</L>
<L>He rally'd and renew'd the fray.</L>
<L>and manfully appeas'd her.</L>

<L>Thus they &s;pent this chri&s;tal day</L>
<L>in &s;uch wanton &s;ports and play,</L>
<L><HI>Amintias</HI> there, imbrac't his Dear.</L>
<L>And bid her be light-hearted</L>
