POore Coridon, did sometime sit hard by the Broome alone: And secretly complain'd to it, against his only one. He bids the Broome that bloomes him by beare witnesse to his wrong, And thinking that none else was nie, he thus began his Song: The bonny Broome, the well favour'd Broom, the Broome bloomes faire on hill, What ail'd my Love to lightly mee, and I working her will? If Syrinx for despising Pan the Shepheards god, was changed, Into a Reede, may I not then, hope well to be revenged On Galatea? whose disdaine for sorrow doth consume Poore Coridon, who still complaines, and mournes among the Broome, The bonny Broome, etc. If proud Apollo fell in love with that Penean dame, And left his blest abode above, to feede his fleshly flame, For pride syne turned in a Tree, that Death should bee her Doome: Shall shee not sometime sigh for mee, and mourne amongst the Broome? The bonny Broome, etc. For shee hath seene my sighes and teares, and knowes my kinde intent: Yet scornes for to regard my cares, and laughes when I lament. Yet though a looke would send reliefe, to ease my grieved grone:
First would shee then to ende my griefe, bee buried in the Broome, The bonny Broome, etc. Oh, would she leave her coy disdaines, which makes me dwine and die. And pitty him who still complaines, that she so coye should bee, Poore Coridon would out of doubt, his wonted joyes resume: And sing her praises round about the borders of the Broome. The bonny Broome, etc. But since she still continues coye, and carelesse of my care: I will awake the blinded Boy, my sute for to declare: That he over whom my Mistresse proud so proudly doth presume: And make her sigh and sing aloud, sad songs about the Broome: The bonny Broome, etc. Else proud Apollo I thee pray, to turne her in a Tree: Pan throw thy pleasant Pipe away, Make her thy Reede to bee. In tree or Reede when shee is changed, let none of these beare bloome: So will I holde mee well revenged, and blithly sing the Broome Beare witnesse Broome, thou dainty Broom that bloomes on hill and dale: Since Galetea lightlies mee, I take my long Farewell.
