Lyrics: ?Michael Drayton
Sweet Philomel, cease thou thy songs awhile,
And will thy mates their melodies to leave;
And all at once attend my mournful style,
Which will of mirth your sugar'd notes bereave.
If you desire the burthen of my song,
I sigh and sob, for Phyllis I did wrong.
Ye sylvan nymphs, that in these woods do shroud,
To you my mournful sorrows I declare;
You savage satyrs, let your ears be bound;
To hear my woe your sacred selves prepare.
Trees, herbs and flow'rs, in rural fields that grow,
While thus I mourn, do you some silence show.
Sweet Philomel, cease thou thy songs awhile,
And will thy mates their melodies to leave;
And all at once attend my mournful style,
Which will of mirth your sugar'd notes bereave.
If you desire the burthen of my song,
I sigh and sob, for Phyllis I did wrong.
Ye sylvan nymphs, that in these woods do shroud,
To you my mournful sorrows I declare;
You savage satyrs, let your ears be bound;
To hear my woe your sacred selves prepare.
Trees, herbs and flow'rs, in rural fields that grow,
While thus I mourn, do you some silence show.
