Pastoral Poems by Nicholas Breton, Selected Poetry by George Wither, and Pastoral Poetry by William Browne (of Tavistock)

by Nicholas Breton; William Browne; George Wither

Each herb hath lost her savour;

And Phyllida the fair hath lost

The comfort of her favour.

It is but mere deceit.

And therefore, my sweet Muse,

Thou know'st what help is best;

Do now thy heavenly cunning use
