SIng, O sing, the day is cleare. sad misfortunes are estranged, Kinder Planets rule the Spheare, what was ill, to good is changed: My more froward haps remove, And I now live where I love. No more joy to man can happen, then a creature so divine, As my love, Each part is shapen like to Venus in her prime, No delight so true doth prove, As the sweet contents of love. Cynthya, when she kist Endimion, upon towering Latmos mount, By each free and wise opinion, was not of so deare account. In no age was knowne to move, Fairer then my fairest Love.
Hellen in those wrinckled dayes, was accounted beauties mirrour, My sweet Ladies glistering rayes, now approve that Ages errour. Hellen far her selfe's above, Never liv'd a fairer Love. Had Paris, when from Troy he parted, seene in Ida my rich Fleece, Spartas Queene had not orestarted, neither her true Lord nor Greece. Paris ne're had crost the flood, To this day faire Troy had stood. Jason left his native Greece, and unto Cholchis toyling went. At his returne, his Golden Fleece equal'd not this ornament: Ancient Authors doe approve Mine the Queene of truest love,
<seg n="1" rend="left"><hi rend="italic">The Second Part. To the same Tune.</hi></seg>
PRincely Theseus never knew, nor the wandring Prince of Troy, A beauty so divine and true, all their times could not enjoy. All their fortunes mine is above, To enjoy so true a Love. Happier I then tongue can utter, to possesse so faire a Faire, Every sense for joy doth mutter, to my joyes none can compare: Sweeter pleasures cannot move, Then to live where one doth love. Powerfull love, the worlds knight Mar-shall, I will sacrifice to thee, My true honours shall be unpartiall, that thou shalt-receive from me. All the gods thou art above, Let me still live where I love. None doth win a happier prize then content (in mine opinion) All the censurers of the wise, grant it is the best dominion: For the wisest doth approve, Kings can but live where they love.
Silly Swaines that pipe on bankes, (turn'd poore Shepheards for their living) Give to love as many thankes, as in Court great Lords are giving. Trust, content doth ever move, In that place where resteth love. Strangest god of Homers number, I will ever thee adore, Thou art onely earths great wonder Cupid, I thy aide implore. As to serve thee stil I strove, Grant me still life where I love. Pleasure now such scope possesseth, all my joy is in the prime, No sad thought my mind opresseth, comfort is so truely mine. All delights doe in me move, Because I live where I love. Come, O come and sing with me, at my Feasts and Banquetings Lovers all, that speeders be, come rejoyce like petty kings: All our songs shall still approve, All content doth live with love.
