StrephonA
-
You Gote heard Gods that loue the grassie mountainesB
You Nimphes that haunt the springs in pleasant valliesB
You Satyrs ioyde with free and quiet forestsB
Vouchsafe your silent eares to playning musiqueC
Which to my woes giues still an early morningC
And drawes the dolor on till wery eueningC
-
KlaiusB
-
O Mercurie foregoer to the eueningC
O heauenlie huntresse of the sauage mountainesB
O louelie starre entitled of the morningC
While that my voice doth fill these wofull valliesB
Vouchsafe your silent eares to plaining musiqueC
Which oft hath Echo tir'd in secrete forrestsB
-
StrephonA
-
I that was once free burges of the forrestsB
Where shade from Sunne and sports I sought at eueningC
I that was once esteem'd for pleasant musiqueC
Am banisht now among the monstrous mountainesB
Of huge despaire and foule afflictions valliesB
Am growne a shrich owle to my selfe each morningC
-
KlaiusB
-
I that was once delighted euery morningC
Hunting the wilde inhabiters of forrestsB
I that was once the musique of these valliesB
So darkened am that all my day is eueningC
Hart broken so that molehilles seeme high mountainesB
And fill the vales with cries in steed of musiqueC
-
StrephonA
-
Long since alas my deadly Swannish musiqueC
Hath made it selfe a crier of the morningC
And hath with wailing strength clim'd highest mountainesB
Long since my thoughts more desert be then forrestsB
Long since I see my ioyes come to their eueningC
And state throwen downe to ouer troden valliesB
-
KlaiusB
-
Long since the happie dwellers of these valliesB
Haue praide me leaue my strange exclaiming musiqueC
Which troubles their dayes worke and ioyes of eueningC
Long since I hate the night more hate the morningC
Long since my thoughts chase me like beasts in forrestsB
And make me wish my selfe layd vnder mountainesB
-
StrephonA
-
Me seemes I see the high and stately mountainesB
Transforme themselues to lowe deiected valliesB
Me seemes I heare in these ill changed forrestsB
The Nightingales doo learne of Owles their musiqueC
Me seemes I feele the comfort of the morningC
Turnde to the mortall serene of an eueningC
-
KlaiusB
-
Me seemes I see a filthie clowdie eueningC
As soon as Sunne begins to clime the mountainesB
Me seemes I feele a noysome sent the morningC
When I doo smell the flowers of these valliesB
Me seemes I heare when I doo heare sweete musiqueC
The dreadfull cries of murdred men in forrestsB
-
StrephonA
-
I wish to fire the trees of all these forrestsB
I giue the Sunne a last farewell each eueningC
I curse the fidling finders out of MusickeC
With enuie I doo hate the loftie mountainesB
And with despite despise the humble valliesB
I doo detest night euening day and morningC
-
KlaiusB
-
Curse to my selfe my prayer is the morningC
My fire is more then can be made with forrestsB
My state more base then are the basest valliesB
I wish no euenings more to see each eueningC
Shamed I hate my selfe in sight of mountainesB
And stoppe mine eares lest I growe mad with MusickeC
-
StrephonA
-
For she whose parts maintainde a perfect musiqueC
Whose beautie shin'de more then the blushing morningC
Who much did passe in state the stately mountainesB
In straightnes past the Cedars of the forrestsB
Hath cast me wretch into eternall eueningC
By taking her two Sunnes from these darke valliesB
-
KlaiusB
-
For she to whom compar'd the Alpes are valliesB
She whose lest word brings from the spheares their musiqueC
At whose approach the Sunne rose in the eueningC
Who where she went bare in her forhead morningC
Is gone is gone from these our spoyled forrestsB
Turning to desarts our best pastur'de mountainesB
-
Strephon KlaiusB
-
These mountaines witnesse shall so shall these valliesB
These forrests eke made wretched by our musiqueC
Our morning hymne is this and song at eueningC

Sir Philip Sidney
