The shepherd Corydon with love was fired	A
For fair Alexis his own master's joy	B
No room for hope had he yet none the less	C
The thick leaved shadowy soaring beech tree grove	D
Still would he haunt and there alone as thus	E
To woods and hills pour forth his artless strains	F
'Cruel Alexis heed you naught my songs	G
Have you no pity you'll drive me to my death	H
Now even the cattle court the cooling shade	I
And the green lizard hides him in the thorn	J
Now for tired mowers with the fierce heat spent	K
Pounds Thestilis her mess of savoury herbs	L
Wild thyme and garlic I with none beside	M
Save hoarse cicalas shrilling through the brake	N
Still track your footprints 'neath the broiling sun	O
Better have borne the petulant proud disdain	P
Of Amaryllis or Menalcas wooed	Q
Albeit he was so dark and you so fair	R
Trust not too much to colour beauteous boy	B
White privets fall dark hyacinths are culled	S
You scorn me Alexis who or what I am	T
Care not to ask how rich in flocks or how	U
In snow white milk abounding yet for me	V
Roam on Sicilian hills a thousand lambs	W
Summer or winter still my milk pails brim	X
I sing as erst Amphion of Circe sang	Y
What time he went to call his cattle home	Z
On Attic Aracynthus Nor am I	A2
So ill to look on lately on the beach	B2
I saw myself when winds had stilled the sea	V
And if that mirror lie not would not fear	C2
Daphnis to challenge though yourself were judge	D2
Ah were you but content with me to dwell	E2
Some lowly cot in the rough fields our home	Z
Shoot down the stags or with green osier wand	F2
Round up the straggling flock There you with me	V
In silvan strains will learn to rival Pan	G2
Pan first with wax taught reed with reed to join	H2
For sheep alike and shepherd Pan hath care	R
Nor with the reed's edge fear you to make rough	I2
Your dainty lip such arts as these to learn	J2
What did Amyntas do what did he not	K2
A pipe have I of hemlock stalks compact	L2
In lessening lengths Damoetas' dying gift	M2
'Mine once ' quoth he 'now yours as heir to own '	N2
Foolish Amyntas heard and envied me	V
Ay and two fawns I risked my neck to find	O2
In a steep glen with coats white dappled still	P2
From a sheep's udders suckled twice a day	Q2
These still I keep for you which Thestilis	V
Implores me oft to let her lead away	Q2
And she shall have them since my gifts you spurn	J2
Come hither beauteous boy for you the Nymphs	V
Bring baskets see with lilies brimmed for you	R2
Plucking pale violets and poppy heads	V
Now the fair Naiad of narcissus flower	S2
And fragrant fennel doth one posy twine	T2
With cassia then and other scented herbs	V
Blends them and sets the tender hyacinth off	U2
With yellow marigold I too will pick	V2
Quinces all silvered o'er with hoary down	W2
Chestnuts which Amaryllis wont to love	X2
And waxen plums withal this fruit no less	V
Shall have its meed of honour and I will pluck	Y2
You too ye laurels and you ye myrtles near	C2
For so your sweets ye mingle Corydon	W2
You are a boor nor heeds a whit your gifts	V
Alexis no nor would Iollas yield	Z2
Should gifts decide the day Alack alack	Y2
What misery have I brought upon my head	A3
Loosed on the flowers Siroces to my bane	W2
And the wild boar upon my crystal springs	V
Whom do you fly infatuate gods ere now	W2
And Dardan Paris have made the woods their home	Z
Let Pallas keep the towers her hand hath built	B3
Us before all things let the woods delight	C3
The grim eyed lioness pursues the wolf	D3
The wolf the she goat the she goat herself	E3
In wanton sport the flowering cytisus	V
And Corydon Alexis each led on	W2
By their own longing See the ox comes home	Z
With plough up tilted and the shadows grow	F3
To twice their length with the departing sun	W2
Yet me love burns for who can limit love	X2
Ah Corydon Corydon what hath crazed your wit	G3
Your vine half pruned hangs on the leafy elm	H3
Why haste you not to weave what need requires	V
Of pliant rush or osier Scorned by this	V
Elsewhere some new Alexis you will find '	N2
