MAY · AEGLOGA QUINTA
MAY. ÆGLOGA QUINTA. ARGUMENT.
In this fifth Æglogue, under the person of two shepheards, Piers and Palinode, be represented two forms of Pastors or Ministers, or the Protestant and the Catholic; whose chief talk standeth in reasoning, whether the life of the one must be like the other; with whom having shewed, that it is dangerous to maintain any fellowship, or give too much credit to their colourable and feigned good-will, he telleth him a tale of the Fox, that, by such a counterpoint of craftiness, deceived and devoured the credulous Kid.
PALINODE. PIERS.
PALINODE.
Is not thilk the merry month of May,
When love-lads masken in fresh array?
