WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE
And, therefore, take the present time With a hey, and a ho, and a hey nonino,
For love is crowned with the prime
In the spring time, the only pretty ring time,
When birds do sing, hey ding a ding, ding;
Sweet lovers love the spring.
148 Take y O take those Lips away
VAKE, O take those lips away, That so sweetly were forsworn; And those eyes, the break of day,
Lights that do mislead the morn! But my kisses bring again,
Bring again ; Seals of love, but seal'd in vain,
Seal'd in vain!

��Aubade "ARK! hark! the lark at heaven's gate sings,
And Phoebus 'gins arise, His steeds to water at those springs
On chaliced flowers that lies; And winking Mary-buds begin
To ope their golden eyes: With everything that pretty bin, Arise, arise!
750 Fidele
NEAR no more the heat o' the sun,
Nor the furious winter's rages; Thou thy worldly task hast done,
Home art gone, and ta'en thy wages:
