From Arion an unpublished MasqueA

I-
-
-
He Aglai a Aglai aB
Sweet awaken and be gladC
She Who is this that calls AglaiaD
Is it thou my dearest ladC
He 'Tis Arion 'tis ArionE
Who calls thee from sleepF
From slumber who bids theeG
To follow and numberH
His kids and his sheepF
She Nay leave to entreat meG
If mother should spy onE
Us twain she would beat meG
He Then come my love comeI
And hide with ArionE
Where green woods are dumbI
-
She Ar i on Ar i onE
Closer list I am afraidJ
-
He Whisper then thy love ArionE
From thy window lily maidJ
-
She Yet Aglaia yet AglaiaD
Hath heard them debateK
Of wooing repentingA
Who trust to undoingA
Lament them too lateK
-
He Nay nay when I woo theeG
Thy mother might spy onE
All harm I shall do theeG
-
She I come then I comeI
To follow ArionE
Where green woods be dumbI

SONGA
-
Sparrow of Love so sharp to peckA
Arrow of Love I bare my neckA
Down to the bosom See no fleckA
-
Of blood I have never a wound I goA
Forth to the greenwood Yet heigh hoA
What 'neath my girdle flutters soA
-
'Tis not a bird and yet hath wingsL
'Tis not an arrow yet it stingsL
While in the wound it nests and singsL
Heigh hoA
-
He Of Arion of ArionE
That wound thou shalt learnE
What nothings 'tis made ofM
And soft pretty soothingsL
In shade of the fernE
-
She When maids have a mind toN
Man's word they rely onE
Old warning are blind toN
I come then I comeI
To walk with ArionE
Where green woods are dumbI
-

II-
-
-
He Dear my love and O my loveM
And O my love so latelyG
Did we wander yonder groveO
And sit awhile sedatelyG
For either you did there concludeP
To do at length as I didQ
Or passion's fashion's turn'd a prudeP
And troth's an oath deridedQ
-
She Yea my love and nay my loveM
And ask me not to tell loveM
While I delay'd an idle dayR
What 'twixt us there befell loveM
Yet either I did sit besideS
And do at length as you didQ
Or my delight is lightly by-
An idle lie deludedQ
