A Report Song in a Dream, Between a Shepherd and His Nymph

Shall we go dance the hay? _The hay?_
Never pipe could ever play
Better shepherd’s roundelay.
 
Shall we go sing the song? _The song?_
Never Love did ever wrong.
Fair maids, hold hands all along.
 
Shall we go learn to woo? _To woo?_
Never thought came ever to[o](?)
Better deed could better do.
 
Shall we go learn to kiss? _To kiss?_
Never heart could ever miss
Comfort where true meaning is.
 
Thus at base they run, _They run,_
When the sport was scarce begun;
But I waked, and all was done.
