[_They rise and sing in praise of_ Pan.
The SONG. _Sing his praises that doth keep Our Flocks from harm,_ Pan _the Father of our Sheep, And arm in arm Tread we softly in a round, Whilest the hollow neighbouring ground Fills the Musick with her sound._ Pan, _O great God_ Pan, _to thee Thus do we sing: Thou that keep'st us chaste and free As the young spring, Ever be thy honour spoke, From that place the morn is broke, To that place Day doth unyoke._ [_Exeunt omnes but_ Perigot _and_ Amoret. _Peri_. Stay gentle _Amoret_, thou fair brow'd Maid, Thy Shepherd prays thee stay, that holds thee dear, Equal with his souls good. _Amo_. Speak; I give Thee freedom Shepherd, and thy tongue be still The same it ever was; as free from ill, As he whose conversation never knew The Court or City be thou ever true. |
