Madrigal

Anonymous

YE bubbling springs that gentle music makes

To lovers’ plaints with heart-sore throbs immixed,

Whenas my dear this way her pleasure takes,

Tell her with tears how firm my love is fixed;

And, Philomel, report my timourous fears,

And, Echo, sound my heigh-ho’s in her ears:

But if she ask if I for love will die,

Tell her, “Good faith, good faith, good faith,—not I!”
