Old Italian madrigal by Constantio Festa (aka Constantius Festa), with English words by two 19th century gentlemen (Thomas Oliphant and FWR [if anyone knows who FWR is please let me know :-)])

Song Lyrics
Down in a flow`ry vale all on a summer morning
Phyllis I spied fair nature`s self adorning
Swiftly on wings of love I flew to meet her
Coldly she welcomed me when I did greet her
I warbled thus my ditty: oh Shepherdess have pity
and hear a faithful lover his passion true discover
Ah why art thou so cruel? The straight replied my jewel
If gold thou hast fond youth, `twill speed thy suing
But if thy purse be empty, come not to me a-wooing

Soon as I careless strayed, fond youth, with eyes averted
Phyllis I met, by all the swains deserted
Swift she (though late so coy) then flew to meet me
My back I turned all deaf to her entreaty.
She warbled then her ditty: Oh shpherd now have pity
And to your faithful lover your passion true discover
Then did I cold and haughty view her and thus replied unto her
The Love that`s won by gold will prove undoing
So since my purse is empty, I`ll go no more a wooing
