NOt long agoe I hard a Maide, (if none) pray God to mend her: And every day to Venus prayd, that she a Love would send her: For why quoth she I cannot stay, till Husband hath me wedded: This is the merry month of May, and now I must be bedded, This maide was young & passing faire, her body small and tender: Blith were her lookes yellow her locks, her fingers long and slender: With outward guifts this comly Lasse, was so adornd by Nature, That who so view'd her, did commend her for a lovely Creature: She did delight as most Maydes do, in May month to be walking: And mongst youngmen (perhaps to wo) in mirth for to be talking, She was courteous and affable, and kind as maydens be: And very much commended for her witts dexteretie She much delighted to goe brave, and quaint in her attire: Her head she graced with her haire, set out upon a wire: With silver bodkin therein plac't, and ought that might but grace her: Which so adorne this beautious Lasse, that none but would imbrace her.
Her other ornaments were such, which so did grace her beauty: That Cupid young, did oft times long, to her to show his dutie: She nere omitted ought that mought procure true love to grace her But yet this Maid did want a friend, in love for to imbrace her. She went attir'd in wastcoate white, whose whitenes passe the snow: Her petticoate was Scarlet red, wherein she was not slow To trace along the Forrest side, with Venus chast desire: Yet hardly could she any meete, to graunt what she requird. Untill young Cupid minding her, his mother Queene implord: That to this comely lovely maide, a love might be restord: Whereat Loves Queene with irefull lookes, unto her sonne thus said: Shal many lovely Nimphes by thee, so long time be delaid. Whose lovely suites have beene rejected, though beautious faire they were: And wilt thou now speake for a tryall, and make her suite appeare? I tell thee sonne thou dost me wrong, and to thy selfe disgrace: Ile neare agree if she by thee, with us shall have a place.

GOod mother queene (Cupid replid) with patience doe but heare: That she deserves to be belov'd, Ile make it straight appeare: She's young, she's faire, she's natures Jem, shee is the flower of many, Wherefore good mother graunt her love if love youl'e graunt to any. Blind boy (quoth Venus) why dost praise her whom thou nere did see? Mother quoth he because I know, by power of Deitie: That this faire mayd excels all maydes, though beautious there are many: And none could ere compare with her, indeed (loves Queene) not any. Saist so quoth Citherea, then doe as thou think'st best: Since thou commend'st her, doe thy will my will with thine shall rest: Blind Cupid gave his mother thanks, and foorth withdrew his quiver: And with an arrow ayming right, this Mayd did soone deliver. From out her long indured griefe, and wish't her not seeme strange: But instantly be rul'd by him, and Silvanus Forrest range: For thy sake I have (quoth he) a Forrester so moov'd, That will he, will be, thou of him shalt ever be belov'd. This lovely mayde, (with awfull thanks) his counsaile soone did follow,
And as she trac'd amid'st the woods, downe in a dingle hollow: Shee instantly in good time met with a brave Jolly Forrester, Who seeing such a lovely faire, at first did thus accost her. Faire mayd (quoth he) accept his love, that doth most dearely love thee: I thinke (quoth shee) you me deride, nay then (quoth he) Ile proove thee: That my love's plac't only on thee, Cupid Loves God doth know: Onely on thee on thee deere love, O doe not then say no. Whereat her joyes so much increast, that joy had speece bereft: No utterance to make reply, unto her tongue was left: Onely her lookes seem'd to dissever, a perfect loves consent: Which (being perceav'd) this Forrester with speed incontinent Did bouldly take her in his armes, and on the grassy downe: With many a lovely kind imbrace, did give her a greene gowne: But when she saw twas time to part, she kissing wept for sorrow: And ga'him a Ring and said sweethart lets meete againe to morrow
