In this interval he ever and anon makes a visit to his Mistress, to whom while he is travelling he solaces himself with a Love Song, and diverts the wearisomness of his journy. And ’tis their common custom, to use such kind of Songs, not with any set tune, but such as every one thinks best himself, nor in the same manner, but sometimes one way, sometimes another, as goes best to every man, when he is in the mode of singing. An ensampel of one they use in the Winter season, communicated to me by _Olaus Matthias_, a _Laplander_, I here annex.
_Kulnasatz niraosam æugaos joao audas jordee skaode Nurte waota waolges skaode Abeide kockit laidi ede Fauruogaoidhe sadicde Ællao momiaiat kuekan kaigewarri. Patzao buaorest kællueiaur tuuni Maode paoti millasan Kaiga waonaide waiedin Aogo niraome buaorebæst Nute aotzaon sargabæst Taide sun monia lii aigoamass Saraogaoin waolgat amass Ios iuao sarga aoinasim Kiuresam katzesim Kulnaasatz nirasam Katze aoinakaos tun su salm._
Kulnasatz _my Rain-deer We have a long journy to go; The Moor’s are vast, And we must hast, Our strength I fear Will fail if we are slow, And so Our Songs will do._
Kaigè _the watery Moor Is pleasant unto me, Though long it be; Since it doth to my Mistriss lead, Whom I adore; The_ Kilwa _Moor, I nere again will tread_.
_Thoughts fill’d my mind Whilst I thro_ Kaigè _past. Swift as the wind, And my desire, Winged with impatient fire, My Rain-deer let us hast._
_So shall we quickly end our pleasing pain: Behold my Mistresse there, With decent motion walking ore the Plain._ Kulnasatz _my Rain-deer; Look yonder, where She washes in the Lake. See while she swims, The waters from her purer limbs New cleerness take._
This is a love Song of the _Laplanders_, wherewith they incourage their Rain-deers to travell nimbly along. For all delay, tho in it self short, is tedious to lovers. They use too at other times to entertain themselves with such Sonnets, when at some distance from their Mistresses, and therein to make mention of them, and extoll their beauty. One of this kind I received of the said _Olaus_, and seeing we have lit upon this subject, I here set it down.
