-The Nightingale so pleasant & so gay,
-in greenewood groves, delights to make his dwelling,
-in fields to flye, chanting his roundelaye,
-at lyberty, against the Cage rebelling.
-But my poore hart with sorowes over swelling,
-through bondayge vyle, bynding my freedome short,
-no pleasure takes in these his sports excelling,
-nor in his song receiveth no comfort.}}
