And thou, unlucky Muse, that wont'st to ease

My musing mind, yet canst not when thou should;

Both Pipe and Muse shall sore the while abye."

So broke his oaten pipe, and down did lie.

By that, the welked Phœbus gan availe

His weary wain; and now the frosty Night

Her mantle black through heaven gan overhale:

Which seen, the pensive boy, half in despite,

Arose, and homeward drove his sunned sheep,

Whose hanging heads did seem his careful case to weep.
