That blessed bird, that spends her time of sleep

In songs and plaintive pleas, the more t' augment

The memory of his misdeed that bred her woe.

"And you that feel no woe, when as the sound

Of these my nightly cries ye hear apart,

Let break your sounder sleep, and pity augment."

PER. O Colin, Colin! the shepheards' joy,

How I admire each turning of thy verse;

And Cuddie, fresh Cuddie, the liefest boy,

How dolefully his dole thou didst rehearse!
