F Arewel, farewel, false hearted Love, disloyal unkind, and untrue; Since that thou dost Unconstant prove, For ever i'le bid thee adieu. The time hath been I lovd thee dear, which now doth make my heart to rue Nevertheless i'le not despair, But for ever i'le bid thee adieu. I did not think thou would'st requite my Love with hate, that was so true; But since thou dost my Person slight, For ever i'le bid thee adieu.
To your humours i'le not be confin'd, I scorn that such a thing should be, Seeing thou art of a wavering mind, I mean to bid adieu to thee. There are Girls enough at every place, that are of Beauty fair and free, I'le chuse one with whom i'le embrace, And for ever bid adieu to thee. Seeing thy heart it is so hard, and thou unkindly dost slight me: I never more will thee regard, False Love farewel, adieu to thee.

The Maids Reply. T Urn back again my dearest Love, come now and hear my kind reply Constant and faithful I will prove, and ile be thy true Love till I dye. Although at first I seemed strange, 'twas but thy patience for to try. but there's nothing my mind shall chang I will be thy true Love till I dye. Of all men throughout the Land, thou art the fairest in mine eye, Then take here both my heart and hand I will be thy true Love till I dye. Some Maidens they false-hearted are, and from their promises will flye, But I will not prove false to thee, for i'le be thy true Love till I dye. Cupid that little Boy so blind, he hath wounded my heart sorely, That I shall never change my mind, but must love thee till the day I dye. My unkindness much I do repent, that e're I should thy love deny, But now to thy joy and content, I will be thy true Love till I dye. If I a thousand pound might gain, I would not leave thy company: Constant and faithful ile remain, and ile be thy true Love till I dye. For I love thee with all my heart, then cast away all sorrow by: Nothing but Death shall us two part, I will be thy true Love till I dye.
Young-Man. O my Love art thou of that mind, for to be constant unto me, Since that thou art loving and kind, i'le marry with no maid but thee. The promises thou didst me make, I find fix in standing now to be, And because thou dost not me forsake, I do mean to marry with none but thee. Then let us make no long delay, but in Matrimony joyned be, I'le stand firm to the words I say, I will marry with no maid but thee. And so farewel to sorrows vain, unto them I will bid adieu, Henceforth i'le cease for to complain, since that my sweet-heart doth prove true. All you the which are Lovers joyn'd, observe this pattern of true Love, Do not you waver like the wind, but to one another constant prove. Now in conclusion of my Song, young-men I wish you all good wives And the maidens husbands e're be long so that they may live contented lives.
FINIS.
