C Omplaine my Lute complaine on him that stayes so long away, He promis'd to be here ere this, but still unkinde doth stay. But now the Proverbe true I finde, once out of sight then out of mind: Hey hoe my heart is full of woe. Peace lyer peace, it is not so, he will by and by be here: But every one that is in Love, thinkes every houre a yeere. Hark, hark, me thinkes I hear one knock run quickly then and turne the locke, Then farrewell all my care and woe. Come gallant now, come loyterer, for I must chide with thee: But yet I will forgive thee once, come sit thee downe by mee, Faire Lady rest your selfe content, I will endure your punishment, And then we shall be friends againe. For every houre that I have staid so long from thee away, A thousand kisses will I give, receive them ready pay. And if we chance to count amisse againe wee'le reckon them every kisse, For he is blest that's punisht so.
And if those thousand kisses then we chance to count aright We shall not need to count againe till we in bed doe light: And then be sure that thou shalt have, thy reckoning just as thou shalt crave. So shall we still agree as one. And thus they spent the silent night, in sweet delightfull sport, Till Phoebus with his beames so bright, from out the fiery port Did blush to see the sweet content, in sable night so vainely spent, Betwixt these Lovers two. And then this Gallant did perswade, that he might now be gone: Sweet-heart, quoth he, I am afraid, that I have stayd too long. And wilt thou then be gone, quoth she, and will no longer stay with me: Then welcome all my care and woe. And then she tooke her Lute in hand, and thus began to play, Her heart was faint she could no stand, but on her bed she lay. And art thou gone my love, quoth she, complaine my Lute, complaine with me Untill that he doth come againe.
