They best feel it, that do find it. _Clor._ Come bring him in, I will attend his sore When you are well, take heed you lust no more. _Satyr._ Shepherd, see what comes of kissing, By my head 'twere better missing. Brightest, if there be remaining Any service, without feigning I will do it; were I set To catch the nimble wind, or get Shadows gliding on the green, Or to steal from the great Queen Of _Fayries_, all her beauty, I would do it, so much duty Do I owe those precious Eyes. _Clor._ I thank thee honest _Satyr_, if the cryes Of any other that be hurt or ill, Draw thee unto them, prithee do thy will To bring them hither. _Satyr._ I will, and when the weather Serves to Angle in the brook, I will bring a silver hook, With a line of finest silk, And a rod as white as milk, To deceive the little fish: So I take my leave, and wish, On this Bower may ever dwell Spring, and Summer. _Clo_.
