PHillis on the new made hay On a pleasant Summers day She in a wanton pasture lay thinking no Shephard nigh her Till Amintas came that way and threw himself down by her. At the first she was amaz'd And with blushes on him gaz'd Her beauty bright, did him invite her shape he did admire, Her wanton dress, could do no less, then set his heart on fire.
Then Amintas mildly said Phillis be not now afraid But entertain, thy shepherd swain, now we are met together, Then I shall prize thy sparkling eyes that did invite me hither. I have rang'd the Plains about For to find my Phillis out My flocks I left of joys bereft whilst I for thee did languish Tis in thy will my heart to fill, with joy, or else with anguish
THen fair Phillis frowning said, My privacy thou hast betraid Therefore be gone, let me alone do not disturb my pleasure, Nor do not move thy sute of love, but leave me to my leasure. Never yet did Shepheards Swain On this smooth Scicilian plain Once dare to move my deep disdain by such like bold intrusion, Then cease thy suit 'tis but in vain I scorn such fond delusion, When Amintas see her frown Hoping still his joys to crown Quoth he my dear, as I am here I like not this behavior Tis Lovers bliss, to toy and kiss it wins a Maidens favor. Let us like the Ivy twine And our loves in one combine Grim Pluto loved Proserpine her beauty did him fetter; When thou art mine, & I am thine, I'l please thee ten times better Fye for shame fond Boy she said I'm resolv'd to live a Maid Thou a[r]t too young, to do me wrong be not so bold to venture, Whilst he [p]oor youth, to speak the truth still aimed at the center
Phillis blusht as red as blood When his mind she understood His bold intent for to prevent she us'd her best endeavor, His resolution it was bent for he was loath to leave her. Hotly he persued the Game Whilst his heart was on a flame She cry'd pish nay fye for shame in faith you shall not do it But the youth her overcame and eagerly fell to it. Thus she strived all in vain Whilst she felt a pleasing pain, Yet he by no means would refrain but kindly did imbrace her, He kist his love and told her plain he never would disgrace her. In great rage she flung away Tumbling ore the new made hay Whilst he ashamed & breathless lay although he then displeas'd her He rally'd and renew'd the tray, and manfully appeas'd her. Thus they spent this christal day in such wanton sports and play, Amintias there, imbrac't his Dear And bid her be light heatred But night being come they hasted home and kindly kist and parted.
