Nicholas Breton Thought Poems
- 1. A Report Song In A Dream
A Report Song in a Dream, between a shepherd and his nymph
Shall we go dance the hay? The hay?
Never pipe could ever play
... - 2. Country Song
Shall we go dance the hay, the hay?
Never pipe could ever play
Better shepherd's roundelay.
... - 3. Love
Foolish love is only folly;
Wanton love is too unholy;
Greedy love is covetous;
Idle love is frivolous;
... - 4. Another Of The Same (a Report Song In A Dream)
Say that I should say I love ye,
Would you say 'tis but a saying?
But if Love in prayers move ye,
Will ye not be moved with praying?
... - 5. An Assurance
Say that I should say I love ye,
Would you say 'tis but a saying?
But if love in prayers move ye,
Will ye not be moved with praying?
... - 6. A Pastoral Of Phyllis And Corydon
On a hill there grows a flower,
Fair befall the dainty sweet!
By that flower there is a bower,
Where the heavenly Muses meet.
... - 7. A Shepherd's Dream
A silly shepherd lately sat
Among a flock of sheep;
Where musing long on this and that,
At last he fell asleep.
... - 8. A Pastoral
On a hill there grows a flower,
Fair befall the dainty sweet!
By that flower there is a bower
Where the heavenly Muses meet.
