| The Happy Lovers Pastime. / Shewing how a Nymph and Shepherd vow'd to love, / As long as they had life and strength to move; / They count all pleasure else but a toy, / To that of Love, it is the life of joy: / They constant prove, in all things do agree, / To Lovers all I wish the like may be. | |
