ARIEL'S SONGS. Who doth ambition shun, Seeking the food he eats, And pleased with what he gets, Come hither, come hither, come hither, Here shall he see No enemy, But Winter and rough weather. Ariel's Songs. ULL fathom five thy father lies; Hark! now I hear them,-ding-dong, bell. 'HERE the bee sucks, there suck I; In a cowslip's bell I lie; There I couch when owls do cry. On the bat's back I do fly After Summer merrily: Merrily, merrily, shall I live now, Under the blossom that hangs on the bough. O lang, lang may the ladies stand O quha is this has don this deid, For they'll se thame na mair. Mak hast, mak hast, my mirry men all, Have owre, have owre, to Aberdour, The Virtuous Well. ERIGOT. Stay, gentle Amoret, thou fair-browed maid, Thy shepherd prays thee stay, that holds thee dear, Equal with his soul's good. AMORET. Speak, I give Thee freedom, shepherd, and thy tongue be still THE VIRTUOUS WELL. As he whose conversation never knew PERIGOT. When I fall off from my affection, The wolf, or Winter's rage, Summer's great heat, Of ill is yet unknown, full speedily, AMORET. I pray thee, gentle shepherd, wish not so; I do believe thee, 't is as hard for me To think thee false, and harder than for thee Than the chaste blushing morn, or that fair star From the full-freighted bags of our fair flocks. Your hair more beauteous than those hanging locks Of young Apollo. AMORET. Shepherd, be not lost; Y' are sailed too far already from the coast PERIGOT. Did you not tell me once I should not love alone, I should not lose Those many passions, vows, and holy oaths, I've sent to heaven? did you not give your hand, Even that fair hand, in hostage? Do not then Give back again those sweets to other men, You yourself vowed were mine. AMORET. Shepherd, so far as maiden's modesty May give assurance, I am once more thine. Once more I give my hands: be ever free From that great foe to faith, foul jealousy. PERIGOT. I take it as my best good; and desire, For stronger comfirmation of our love, To meet this happy night in that fair grove, |
