F Arewel thou Flower of false deceit, and I wish the heighth of you may fade That your Countenance may altered be, and your Honour in the Dust be laid. Ne'r was a Man more true than I, as you your self full well do know; Till I found you in your Cruelty, that you sought my final Overthrow. I wish the bright Sun may not shine, on thee as it has done before; For your Countenance hath me beguil'd, I can love again, but you no more.
Once I could have been as constant sweetheart for to cross the Ocean Seas for thee; As Vulcan did for Venuses sake, when he Sailed into Italy . If you were as fair as Rosamond was, with her Cherry Cheeks & dimpled Chin; Or if you were as fair as Hellena was, I should never more delight therein. But now my heart it is my own, why should I for anothers care? For to sigh and sob, lament and moan, for to bring my self into Dispair.
I will enjoy my Liberty, and in the world I mean to range; For I will no more your Captive be, you I for another mean to change. You treated me with such despight, while I your person did adore; That I value not your Beauty bright, then adieu, adieu for evermore. The Maidens Answer to the Young-Man. S Uch resolutions do not name, pray let me speak a word or two; Do not thus against thy Love exclaim, when thou know'st I cannot part with you. Why dost thou charge me with Deceit? such was my Love and Loyalty; That I never could your Person meet, but you proved as a Life to me. Here do I offer hand and heart, with all that I can call my own; Then do not from thy true Love part, but take some pitty of my moan. For my heart to thee is linked fast, I cannot waver with the Wind; But as long as ever Life shall last, surely I shall never change my mind.
This Loving Couple's Happy Agreement. Can I believe this is my Dear, who once did slight me with disdain? If it be then will my joys appear, seeing she is thus return'd again. Now nothing can my peace annoy, as long as ever Life does last; In my Dear I place my chiefest joy, utterly forgetting all that's past. I will embrace thee in my Arms, with many a soft and tender Kiss; With many thousand pleasant Charms, in a full perfection of our Bliss. Tho' once I did Reflect on thee, 'twas while my heart was fill'd with grief, And I never did expect to see that thou ever would'st afford Relief. But since the frowns of Fate are fled, and I have found thy Constancy, Now my heart is free from fear and dread, I will love my Jewel till I dye. Then he took his true Love by the hand, calling her his true and Turtle-Dove; We'l no longer now disputing stand, but resolve to Live and Dye in Love.
