Sweet awaken and be gladD

SheB
Who is this that calls AglaiaE
Is it thou my dearest ladD

HeB
'Tis Arion 'tis ArionF
Who calls thee from sleepG
From slumber who bids theeB
To follow and numberH
His kids and his sheepG
-
SheB
Nay leave to entreat meB
If mother should spy onF
Us twain she would beat meB

HeB
Then come my love comeI
And hide with ArionF
Where green woods are dumbI

Ar i on Ar i onF
Closer list I am afraidJ

Whisper then thy love ArionF
From thy window lily maidJ

Of wooing repentingL
'Who trust to undoingL
Lament them too late '-

All harm I shall do theeB

SONGM
-
Sparrow of Love so sharp to peckN
Arrow of Love I bare my neckN
Down to the bosom See no fleckN
-
Of blood I have never a wound I goO
Forth to the greenwood Yet heigh hoO
What 'neath my girdle flutters soO
-
'Tis not a bird and yet hath wingsP
'Tis not an arrow yet it stingsP
While in the wound it nests and singsP
Heigh hoO
-
-
HeB
Of Arion of ArionF
That wound thou shalt learnF
What nothings 'tis made ofQ
And soft pretty soothingsP
In shade of the fernF
-
-
SheB
When maids have a mind toR
Man's word they rely onF
Old warning are blind toR
I come then I comeI
To walk with ArionF
Where green woods are dumbI
-
-
IIA
-
HeB
Dear my love and O my loveQ
And O my love so latelyB
Did we wander yonder groveS
And sit awhile sedatelyB
For either you did there concludeT
To do at length as I didU
Or passion's fashion's turn'd a prudeT
And troth's an oath deridedU
-
-
SheB
Yea my love and nay my loveQ
And ask me not to tell loveQ
While I delay'd an idle dayV
What 'twixt us there befell loveQ
Yet either I did sit besideW
And do at length as you didU
Or my delight is lightly byA
An idle lie deludedU
