I would in rich and golden-coloured rain,

With tempting showers in pleasant sort descend

Into fair Phillis’ lap, my louely friend,

When sleep her slumber doth retrain,

I would be changed to a milk-white bull,

When midst the gladsome field she should appear,

By pleasant fineness to surprise my dear,

Whilst from their stalks, she pleasant flowers did pull,

I were content to weary out my pain,

10 To be Narcissus so she were a spring,

To drown in her those wose my heart do ring,

And more; I wish transformed to remain,

That whilst I thus in pleasure’s lap did lie,

I might refresh desire, which else would die.
