Trees, braunches, birds, and songs were framed fit,

2 With false delights, and fild with pleasures vaine,
Into a shadie dale she soft him led,
4 And laid him downe vpon a grassie plaine;
And her sweet selfe without dread, or disdaine,
6 She set beside, laying his head disarm'd
In her loose lap, it softly to sustaine,
8 Where soone he slumbred, fearing not be harm'd,
The whiles with a +loud+ lay she thus him sweetly charm'd.

9 loud > loue _1590_
