THE

SECOND PASTORAL.

THENOT, COLINET.

THENOT. IS it not Colinet I lonesome see, Leaning with folded arms against the tree? Or is it age of late bedims my fight? 'Tis Colinet, indeed, in woeful plight. 4
Thy cloudy look why melting into tears, Unseemly, now the sky so bright appears? Why in this mournful manner art thou found, Unthankful lad, when all things smile around? 8 Or hear'st not lark and linnet jointly sing, Their notes blithe-warbling to salute the spring?
COLINET. Though blithe their notes, not so my wayward fate; Nor lark would sing, nor linnet, in my state. 12
