UPon the smooth Arcadian plain Where the Lambs do frisk amain, Faire Amarillis and her Swain, With hand in hand, were walking; The Sweets to prove, of harmless Love, They Amorously were talking. She was cloathed all in green, And surpast the Fairy Queen, Which made poore Colin for to seem Amazed with her Beauty; To prize his Dear, beyond compare He tookt to be his duty, She for joy did neatly trip, Whilest their flocks about them skip, When Colin sat, a while to prate, She courteously sat by him; And for to finde, if he were kinde, Thus prettily she did try him.
Amarillis told her Swain, To compleat their joyes again, That he should love her and be plain, And think not to deceive her; Then he protested by his troath, That he would never leave her. O Colin if thou constant prove, And that thou wilt not slight my love, Theres nere a Swain upon this plain, That ever shall come near thee; For Garlands and Embroidered Scrips, Oh Colin, I love thee dearly. But Colin if thou change thy Love, And seek my fury once to move, A Tygress unto thee ile prove, When ere thou dost come near me; O Amarillis fear not that, For I doe love thee dearly.
<seg n="1" rend="left"><hi rend="italic">The Second Part, to the same Tune.</hi></seg>
OH Colin if thou provest kind, And never more will change thy mind Ile deck thee bowers, with fragrant flowers, Whose pleasure shall invite thee; With boughes to shroud thee from the showrs Whilst Colin I will delight thee. O Amarillis I rejoyce, For to hear thy pleasing voice, Then never think my onely Dear, That I will ere deceive thee; But cast aside such doubts and fear, I vow I will never leave thee. O Colin, how it joyes my heart, That our Loves shall never part, Amintas and his Chloris faire, Did nere injoy such pleasure; Nor Coridon and Philis rare, I prize thee above all treasure. O Amarillis change a kisse, In token of a further blisse, Whilst every Swain, upon this plain, Doth envy our imbraces; Ile sound thy praises in high strain, To keep thee from all disgraces.
My Colin if a kisse be all, Ile not refuse what ere befall, I am inclind, our Loves to bind, On such a harmless fashion; Since nere a Swain, could yet ere stain, My innocent reputation. O my dearest Love quoth he Now our hearts do both agree, No Shepherd on Arcadias Ground, Shall ever prove so loyal; Now Amarillis thou hast found, My love will abide the tryal. Then Colin streight began to Sing, And made the hills with ecchos ring, In Amarillis lofty praise, He pleasant rimes composes; Whilst she makes garlands of green bays For Colin bedeckt with Roses. Thus they past their time in sport, And still thought it was but short, Till young and old, their flocks did fold, To keep them safe from straying; And so the night did part them quite, Which merrily had been playing.
