yet obscurely shone As when wee see a thinne blacke cloudie clustre Through which the stars do yeeld a darksome lustre A gorgeous choller of deare cheua●all Set with a white embrodered Pyronall And Margarites with workmans rare deuise It seemed like vnto a shining Ice That night adorned in this princely sort Faunus departed from his fathers Court And went vntill for wearines he was Constrainde to lie downe on the yeelding grasse And recommended his faire bodies breath To Morpheus the elder borne of death There Faunus lie and cease my pen to tell What paine those Nimphes abode for thy farewell How sops of sorrow drencht in cups of care In steede of Nectar and Ambrosia were Greefe great in all yet great'st in Melliflore Who thought her Faunus murdred by the Bore She cut the trees and caru'de the tender graffes With dolefull Sestines mourning Epitaphes And stopt with sighs and drownd in kisse-cheeke teares Her halfe-spoke words A garment now she weares Right Rauen-blacke like sorrowes liuerie Cut all in rags yet ioynde so cunningly As by her clothes poore raggednesse was bra●ed And pouertie no greater riches craued The Sun this morne before hee did appeare Got two houres iourney in his Hemisphere And Melliflora at the Sunnes first peeping With loues sharpe-sighted eie the thickets creeping Vnder the broad head of a Pine-tree spies Faunus asleepe whose face to heaun-ward lies She shrunke aside aside againe she started Thinking he had beene Adon she departed But comes againe for loue lept from his eies And puld her backe t was Faunus then she sees She knew and feared feare she knew before Fearing he had beene murdered by the Bore She layd her eie-liddes to his eies and wept Then she perceiude her dearest Faunus slept With that she ioynd her corrall lips to his Sucking his breath and stealing many a kisse Wishing the life of a Camelion That she might onely liue his breath vpon Which all vnwilling his faire body left And would not from that paradise be rest Or heauenly mansion which he did retaine But there in hope to be enclosde againe This soft sound sleepe to Melliflore gane leysure To see to feele to smell to taste such pleasure As none but onely she could euer know And none but Faunus on the earth could show Oh for how oft whilst loue her marrow warmes Would she embrace twixt Alablaster armes And hugge and cull the snow-white fronted Boy Call him her loue her life her soule her ioy Then pry more nearely on his necke with oft Quicke mouing lookes and with her fingers soft Dimple his breast and hanging ore his shoulder Hold Faunus downe thrise blest with such an holder And then againe though yet he sleeping is Thus she beganne to woe him for a kisse More gratious farre then-dawning of the day Then Venus starre or purple coloured Maie Let not my begging dearest Faunus grieue thee Vpon a note ten thousand kisses giue mee And then as many busses ouerplus As Cinth●● gaue her loue Propentius How many Cupids with the Graces trippe Vpon thy left cheeke and thine vpper lippe How many lifes deaths ioves hopes cares and feares Thy quicker mouing eie-balles Faunus beares So many collings with kind clippings giue mee As Cupids golden headed arrowes grieue me And adde enticements twixt thine amorous kisses And pleasant murmures with sweete sounding hisses As Doues by turnes be either other nibbing And louingly in blither words be snibbing And bloudlesse in my bosome when thou lies And I turne vp my watrie swimming eies Then will I glew thee in my limber arme If cold as lead my breast shall make thee warme And Melliflora with her kisses breath Shall giue her Faunus life in lookt-for death Vntill my spirit in dewie kisses altring Within my body faint and fall a faultring Then take me Faunus twixt thy naked armes And vse thy hugging and thy kissing charmes And in thy hearts spoone coll me least I perish As twixt thy breasts my frozen bloud I le cherish And then like mine thy moistie kisses dew At po ynt of death life will againe renew Thus shall we enioy the heauen of our age And both together both our liues will swage This said she gathered fragrant smelling posies And strewd him o're with violets and roses Then with a kisse faine would she him haue raised Yet stood stone still and wishly on him gazed And forth his sleepe as though she feard to feare him She fixt her kisses to the roses neare him The roses warme by Mellifloraes mouth A whispering gale of wind came West by South How many roses then before she kist If she had knowne this none she would haue mist Her former kisses kisses gainde such plentie That she receiu de for one kisse more then twentie Such store of kisses on the sodaine found Some slipping from her fell vpon the ground That such an haruest came vpon the earth As since we had of kisses neuer dearth But stirring once his pillow made of grasse Faunus awakt and Venus thought she was With that he rose and like the blushing morne Hauing all night the loathsome burden borne Of aged Tython old men do no good Yet will be fumbling angrie then and wood Among the clowdes herselfe shee headlong throwes To meete with Phaebus what they do all knowes Headlong he ran such gamesome loue he scorned As Venus lou'd to haue his loue suborned But Melliflora ranne and ouertooke him And held him hard and neuer once forsooke him Vntil his name was honour'd by her tongue As one that findes great treasure standeth long Doubting hee sleepes so stood the louely boy Loue-sicke amaz'd and surfeited with ioy But when he knew her O what amorous greeting Faunus deuisde to entertaine his sweeting Like to the elme enclaspt with wanton vine Or as the ivie doth the oake combine About her necke his ivorie armes did twine Faint feeble weake and languishing in fine A moystie kisse seald vp their lippes as neuer Iniurious death should their embracements seuer But with their kisses make two bodies one And so their hearts with kisses liue alone Some teares betwixt them teares of ioy againe Did fall like siluer drops in sun-shine raine Then Faunus told her how he scapt the bore And both related th accidents before His ey-browes touch her roundie speaking eyne Kissing her necke and lippes like Corraline Then busseth she his cheeke his chin and brow Red comely-short and like to Cupids bow Yet in this vnion thus displeasde they be Because themselues they kissing cannot see Then like two culuers once againe they cleaue Hugge cull and clippe and sory for to leaue She carries kisses on her doubtfull eies In those two Diamonds prettie babes he spies Vntill they smile which as the sunne doth chace The mist-hung clowdes then shewes his cheerefull face From eies and cheekes did driue away the teares The sighes the sobs the cares and doubtfull feares Faunus resolu'd now had intention To wooe how loue refines inuention And thus he
