IN the merry month of J^y,
On a morn by break of day,
Forth I walk'd the wood so wide,
When as May was in her pride :
There I spy'd all alone, all alone,
Phillida and Choridon.
Much ado there was God wot,
He did love, but she could not ;
He said his love was to woo,
She said none was false to you ;
He said he had lov'd her long,
She said love should take no wrong,
Choridon would have kist her then,
She said Maids must kiss no Men,
Till they kiss for good and all ;
Then she bad the shepherd call,

A Song.
