Amarillis was full fayre	A
The goodlyest mayde was she	B
From the east unto the west	C
That heaven's eye could se	D
	-
	-
To Diana at her birthe	E
Her parents did her geve	F
All untouchte a mayden's lyfe	F
Durynge her dayes to lyue	G
	-
	-
Whose beheste she constant kepte	C
And whollye was enclynde	C
To be free to get great prayse	D
And win eche worthye mynde	C
	-
	-
As there was good cause enoughe	F
So was she honored most	C
They that had her seene abroade	C
At home would make their boaste	C
	-
	-
Twoe ther were that her behelde	C
Who woulde have done so ever	A
Happye theye ye happye thryse	D
If they had done so never	A
	-
	-
Coridon and Caramell	H
Who longe with deere accorde	C
Ledd their lyues and neyther wisht	C
Of other to be lorde	C
	-
	-
Good and sure their freendshipp was	D
Tyll Amarillis fyne	I
Had the powre perhapps the will	H
The bande for to untwyne	I
	-
	-
All the goods that eche possest	C
Of bodye goodes or mynde	C
Were employde to other's use	D
As eche by profe did fynde	C
	-
	-
They had no cause to enuye ought	C
The auncyent worlde's prayse	D
Of Damo and of Pytheas	D
And others in those dayes	D
	-
	-
But the boye that blynded god	C
In great despights complaynde	C
That one earthe alone they were	A
That his darte quyte disdaynde	C
	-
	-
Whereupon his strongest bowe	J
And sharpest arrowes hente	C
And in Amarillis eyes	D
He lyghtely pighte his tente	C
	-
	-
Where he lay to watche both tyme	K
And place for his avayll	H
For the wightes that wiste not yet	C
What foe should them assayll	H
	-
	-
One of his two shafts was dipte	C
In bitter sauce as gaulle	H
The other in a pleasant wyne	I
And poyson myxte withall	H
	-
	-
As the smacke of dyuers sauce	D
So dyuerslye they wroughte	C
By despayre the one to deathe	E
By vague hope the other broughte	C
	-
	-
With the first was Coridon	I
Throughe pierc d to the herte	C
Caramell wh' in his brest	C
Felte of the other's smarte	C
	-
	-
Butt with gould both headed were	A
And both wth lyke desyre	A
Faygne they would wth'in therre brest	C
Hyde cloase their kyndled fyre	A
	-
	-
But wthout it must appeere	A
That burnte so hot wthin	I
Harde it is the flame to hyde	C
That it no issue win	I
	-
	-
And in tyme strange lookes began	I
That spronge of Jelosye	G
Full of care eche laye in wayghte	C
For his felowe to descrye	G
	-
	-
In the end all freendly lookes	D
Betweene these freendes decayde	C
Bothe were bente to please theselues	D
Theire freende's case nothynge wayde	C
	-
	-
Amarillis' love was soughte	C
With all they could deuyse	D
Yea wth all the power of man	I
And prayer to the skyes	D
	-
	-
All she sawe and herde theire moane	I
As Aspis dothe the charme	K
By and by she bayed them both	E
As guyltye of theyre harme	K
	-
	-
Now to the one she would give eare	A
Now put the other of	F
Allurynge him by courteseye	G
And tauntynge him by scoff	F
	-
	-
But that trust by tryalls paste	C
Made them theire doome suspende	C
And indeed she us d there	A
Where passione did offend	C
	-
	-
He had neede of store of tyme	K
That would his pen prepare	A
To sett forth theire agonyes	D
Theire dredd hope and feare	A
	-
	-
Butt in vayne they spente theire tyme	K
Theire labor all was lost	C
She was farthest from theire need	C
Where they foreween d most	C
	-
	-
Coridon waxte pall and leane	I
His younger heares torned hore	A
Feates of armes the horse and hauke	L
He left and used no more	A
	-
	-
He had founde that Amarill	H
Soughte glorye more than love	F
That she forc d not his harmes	D
Her bewtye's power to prove	F
	-
	-
Yet he could not leave to love	F
Butt yeeldynge to despayre	A
Rente his hearte his corpes fell downe	I
His goaste fledd to the ayre	A
	-
	-
Caramell thoughte women kynde	C
Was apte to change and bowe	J
And beleeued to please him selfe	F
What fancye did allowe	J
	-
	-
Butt beleefe ne makes the cause	D
Nor weauynge workes the webb	M
In the tyde his trauayll came	K
He torn d in the ebb	M
	-
	-
Att the last his vayne hope him	K
No longer coulde sustayne	I
In his longynge he consumde	C
Lyfe coulde not him attayne	I
	-

Amaryllis herde of this	D
And pyttye moude wth all	H
Muche to rue so harde a happ	N
One such faythe should befall	H

To Diana strayghte she hyghes	D
Whome wayted one she founde	C
With a trayne of all the dames	D
Whose chaste names Fame did sounde	C

Unto her in humble wyse	D
She sayde she came to sue	D
For that these to lyuyng thynges	D
Myghte be transformde a newe	J
	-
	-
In her armes the goddess mylde	C
Her darlynge softe did strayne	I
What is that that thou qth she	B
Of me mayste not obtayne	I
	-
	-
There withall Sr Caramel	H
A yellow flowre became	K
Sweete of sente and muche esteemde	C
And Harte's ease caulde by name	K
	-
	-
Amarillis pluckte the flowre	A
And ware it in her heade	C
Sometymes she layde it in her lapp	N
Sometymes upone her bedd	C
	-
	-
Caramell O happye flowre	A
O most unhappy man	I
In thy lyfe thou hadst thy deathe	E
In thy deathe thy lyfe began	I
	-
	-
Coridon turnde to an owlle	H
Fledd to the wildernes	D
Never flockes butt leades his lyfe	F
In solytarynes	D
	-
	-
Nor his eyes can yet behould	C
The deare lyghte of the sun	I
Butt aloofe he stealles his flyghte	C
And in the darke dothe run	I
	-
	-
Amaryllis to the woode	C
Att sometyme will repayre	A
And delyghte to here the laye	G
And tune of his despayre	A
	-

Well I wot what here is ment	C
And thoughe a talle yt seeme	K
Shadowes haue their substance bye	G
And so of this esteeme	K
	-

Ye that chaunce this for to heer	A
And do not prayse their speede	C
Give them thankes for you by them	K
Are warnde to take heede	C
