EnglandsHelicon2 E8r

[E8r]

Did quicken mans conceite, And womens brests inspire. (15) The Gods that saw the good, That mortalls did approoue: With kinde and holy moode, Began to talke of Loue.

Downe a downe, (20) Thus Phillis sung By fancie once distressed, &c.
But during this accord, A wonder strange to heare: Whilst Loue in deed and word, (25) Most faithfull did appeare; False semblance came in place, By Iealousie attended: And with a double face, Both loue and fancie blended. (30) Which made the Gods forsake, And men from fancie flie: And Maydens scorne a make, Forsooth and so will I.

Downe a downe, (35) Thus Phillis sung, By fancie once distressed: Who so by foolish Loue are stung, Are worthily oppressed. And so sing I, with downe a downe, &c.
