W As ever Maiden so scorned, by one that she loved so dear; Long time I have sighed and mourned, and still my love will not hear: O turn to me my own dear heart, and I prethee love turn to me; For thou art the Lad I long for, and alas what remedy . My lodging is on the cold ground, and very hard is my fare, But that which troubles me most is, the unkindness of my Dear: O turn to me, etc .
O stop not thy ear, to the wailings, of me a poor harmless Maid; You know we are subject to failings, blind Cupid hath me betraid: And now I must cry O turn love, etc . How canst thou be so hard hearted, and cruel to me alone; If ever we should be parted, then all my delight is gone; But ever I cry O turn love, and I prethee love turn to me: For thou art the man that alone art, the cause of my misery .
I 'Le make thee pritty sweet Posies, and constant I ever will prove, I'le strow thy Chamber with Roses, and all to delight my love: Then turn to me my own dear heart, and I prethee Love turn to me: For thou art the man that alone can, procure my liberty . I'le do my endeavour to please thee, by makeing the bed full soft, Of all thy sorrows i'le ease thee, by Kissing thy lips full oft: Then turn to me my own dear heart, and I prethee Love turn to me, For thou art the man that alone can, procure my liberty . But thou wilt harden thy heart still, and be deaf to my pittiful moan, So I must endure the smart still, and tumble in straw all alone: Whilst still I cry O turn Love, and I prethee Love turn to me, For thou art the man that alone art, the cause of my misery . If that thou still do disdain me, I never will love thee more, Thy cruelty shall never pain me, for i'le have another in store: But still I cry O turn Love, and I prethee Love turn to me, For thou art the man that alone art, the cause of my misery .
By hearing her pittiful clamour, the passion of Love he felt; He could no longer disdain her, his frozen heart it did melt: For ever she cryed O turn love, and I prethee Love turn to me, For thou art the man that alone can, procure my libert y . He said my Love I will please thee, thy heaviness grieves me sore, But let not sorrow once seaze thee, I never will grieve thee more: I'le turn to thee my own kind heart, dear love i'le turn to thee; For I am the man that now am come, to procure thy liberty . I'le crown thee with a garland of straw then, and marry thee with a rush ring, My frozen heart it will thaw then, and merrily we will sing: B ut ever she cry'd O turn love, and I prethee love turn to me, For thou art the man, that alone can, release my misery . Most lovingly he embrac'd her, and call'd her his hearts delight; And close by his side he plac'd her, all sorrows was vanquisht quite: And now she for joy cry'd turn love, and I prethee love turn to me; For thou art the man that alone hast, releast me of misery
