taketh keepe;
That is as townish damzels, lend the hand
But send the heart to him aloofe doth stande:
So deales _Eurymine_ with _Silvio_.
_Ge_. Al be she looke more blithe on _Gemulo_
Her heart is in the dyall of her eye,
That poynts me hers.
_Sil_. That shall we quickly trye.
_Eurymine_!
_Ge_. _Erynnis_, stop thy throte;
Unto thy hound thou hallowst such a note.
I thought that shepheards had bene mannerlesse,
But wood-men are the ruder groomes I guesse.
_Sil_. How shall I call her swaine but by her name?
_Ge_. So _Hobinoll_ the plowman calls his dame.
Call her in Carroll from her quiet coate.
_Sil_. Agreed; but whether shall begin his note?
_Ge_. Draw cuttes.
_Sil_. Content; the longest shall begin.
_Ge_. Tis mine.
_Sil_. Sing loude, for she is farre within.
_Ge_. Instruct thy singing in thy forrest waies,
Shepheards know how to chant their roundelaies.
_Sil_. Repeat our bargain ere we sing our song,
Least after wrangling should our mistresse wrong:
If me she chuse thou must be well content,
If thee she chuse I give the like consent.
_Ge_. Tis done: now, _Pan_ pipe, on thy sweetest reede,
And as I love so let thy servaunt speede.--
_As little Lambes lift up their snowie sides
When mounting Lark salutes the gray eyed morne--
Sil. As from the Oaken leaves the honie glides
Where nightingales record upon the thorne--
Ge. So rise my thoughts--
Sil. So all my sences cheere--
Ge. When she surveyes my flocks
Sil. And she my Deare.
Ge. Eurymine!
Sil. Eurymine!
Ge. Come foorth--
Sil. Come foorth--
Ge. Come foorth and cheere these plaines--
(And both sing this together when they have sung it single.)
Sil. The wood-mans Love
Ge. And Lady of the Swaynes.
Enter Eurymine_.
Faire Forester and lovely shepheard Swaine,
Your Carrolls call _Eurymine_ in vaine,
For she is gone: her Cottage and her sheepe
With me, her brother, hath she left to keepe,
And made me sweare by _Pan_, ere she did go,
To see them safely kept for _Gemulo_.
(_They both looke straungely upon her, apart each from other_.)
_Ge_. What, hath my Love a new come Lover than?
_Sil_. What, hath my mistresse got another man?
_Ge_. This Swayne will rob me of _Eurymine_.
_Sil_. This youth hath power to win _Eurymine_.
_Ge_. This straungers beautie beares away my prize.
_Sil_. This straunger will bewitch her w
