English text
Amaryllis I did woo;
And I courted Phillis too;
Daphne for her love I chose;
Chloris, for that damask rose
In her cheek I held as dear;
Yea, a thousand lik’d, well near;
And, in love with all together,
Fearèd the enjoying either,
’Cause to be of one possess’d,
Barr’d the hope of all the rest.
