¶Liedtext

On a hill there grows a flower, Fair befall the dainty, dainty sweet! By that flower there is a bower, Where the heavenly Muses meet. In that bower there is a chair, Fringèd all about with gold, Where doth sit the fairest fair, That ever eye did yet behold. It is Phillis fair and bright, She that is the shepherd’s joy; She that Venus did despite, And did blind her little boy. Who would not his face admire? Who would not this saint adore? Who would not this sight desire, Tho’ he thought to see no more? Oh, fair eyes! yet let me see One good look, and I am gone; Look on me, for I am he, Thy poor silly Corydon. Thou that art the shepherd’s queen, Look upon thy silly swain; By thy comfort have been seen Dead men brought to life again.
