¶Liedtext

Phillis was a faire maide and she had suitors store; though I a maide, as Phillis was, yet have I ne’er the more. A sillie lass may sigh, alas! whose cause doth still abound. I daily weep, and keep my sheep that feede upon the downe. Phillis was a faire maide, belov’d of Corydon; yet I a maide, as Phillis was, must ever pine alone. No lover may, with garlands gay, my shining tresses crown. I daily weep, and keep my sheep that feede upon the downe. Phillis was a faire maide and Corydon was kind; but I a maide, as Phillis was, may never suitor find. The seasons pass and oh! alas, my sorrows yet abound. I daily weep, and keep my sheep that feede upon the downe.
