wine, And will wroote vp all our Downes: They their Holly whips haue brac'd, 360 And tough Hazell goades haue gott; Soundly they your sides will baste, If their courage faile them not. Of their purpose if they speed, Then your Bagpypes you may burne, It is neither Droane nor Reed Shepheard, that will serue your turne: Angry OLCON sets them on, And against vs part doth take Euer since he was out-gone, 370 Offring Rymes with us to make.

The _Merle_ vpon her mertle Perch, There to the _Mavis_ sings, Who from the top of some curld Berch Those notes redoubled rings; 20 There Daysyes damaske euery place Nor once their beauties lose, That when proud _Phoebus_ hides his face Themselues they scorne to close. The Pansy and the Violet here, As seeming to descend, Both from one Root, a very payre, For sweetnesse yet contend, And pointing to a Pinke to tell Which beares it, it is loath,
