Now peep, boe peep

F. Pilkington

Now peep, boe peep, thrise happie blest mine eies,

For I have found faire Phillis where she lies,

Upon her bad, with armes unspred, all fast asleepe,

Look to your selves, new charge I must approve,

Phillis doth sleepe, and must guard my Love.

Now peep, boe peep, mine eyess, to see your blisse,

Phillis closed eyes atrackts you, hers to kisse:

Oh may I now perform my vow, loves joy t'immpart,

Assay the while how to beguile, farewell faint hart.

Taken she is, new joyes I must approve,

Phillis doth sleep, and I will kisse my Love.

Now peep, boe pee, be not oto bould my hand,

Wake not thy Phillis, feare shee doe with-stand:

Shee stirs alas, alas, alas I faint in spright,

Shee opens her eie, undhappie I, farewell delight,

Awakt shee is, new woes I must approve,

Phillis awakes, and I must leave my Love.
