Whylest euerie one with helping hands did striue

Amongst themselues, and did their labours share,

To helpe faire Pastorella, home to driue

Her fleecie flocke; but Coridon most helpe did giue.

But Melibœe (so hight that good old man) xvi

Now seeing Calidore left all alone,

And night arriued hard at hand, began

Him to inuite vnto his simple home;

Which though it were a cottage clad with lome,

And all things therein meane, yet better so
