On a hill there grows a flowerA
Fair befall the dainty sweetB
By that flower there is a bowerA
Where the heavenly Muses meetB
-
In that bower there is a chairC
Fring d all about with goldD
Where doth sit the fairest fairC
That did ever eye beholdD
-
It is Phyllis fair and brightE
She that is the shepherds' joyF
She that Venus did despiteE
And did blind her little boyF
-
This is she the wise the richG
That the world desires to seeH
This is ipsa qu the whichG
There is none but only sheH
-
Who would not this face admireI
Who would not this saint adoreJ
Who would not this sight desireA
Though he thought to see no moreJ
-
O fair eyes yet let me seeH
One good look and I am goneK
Look on me for I am heH
Thy poor silly CorydonK
-
Thou that art the shepherds' queenK
Look upon thy silly swainK
By thy comfort have been seenK
Dead men brought to life againK
