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.
