[The musical shep[e]herdess,] or, Dorinda's lamentation for the loss of Amintas : Amintas all Arcadia's Glory was, a youth so sweet that all he did surpass : but times all mowing sith this flower did cut, fate to his days hath the last period put : for musick, and for singing, who but he, was fit to help the gods with harmony? : His fair Dorinda, seeing he was gone, and she poor mournful damsel left alone, invokes the nymphs to sing his praise, whist she a garland weaves, then ends her days, resolving not to stay behind her love, she being deny'd him here, mounts above / To a pleasant new tune, called, Amintas farewel, or, Digbys farewel.
