S Weet if thou wilt be As I am to thee Then by Cupids Mother, I have vow'd to have none other she: Then turn to me thou pretty little one and I will turn to thee. Those bright eyes of thine Which do dazle mine, Like the stars of Heaven, Which do keep their even course and shine: Then let us in Conjunction meet and both our loves combine. If that lovely face, Will to mine give place, That with loves devotion We may use the motion of imbrace: Then sit thee down my pretty little one, and let us love a space. What hurt is in this? For to take a kiss If it may be granted; I that long have wanted such a bliss: Then be not sparing of a few whereas such plenty is.
If thy breasts do pant, For the milk they want, Every Hill and Mountain To supply each fountain, be not scant: Then give to me thy lilly white hand, and I thee mine will grant. If so be that I, May but thee come nigh, The Vine, and Elm shall never, Joyn more close together than will I, Then shew thy fruits my amorous joy and i'le with love supply. If that thou dost crave, Silks and Garments brave Or what rich attire: Could thy heart desire to receive: Declare to me thou pretty little one, thou canst but ask and have. From the Indias far, Where rich Jewels are I will bring thee treasure Far beyond all measure and compare: Then be not coy my pretty little one for I no cost will spare.
S Weet-heart for thy sake, I will never make, Choice of any other, Then by Cupids Mother; freely speak: It's at thy choice my dearest love, either to leave or take. I thy Mary Gold: Wrapt in many fold. Like the Golden Clyent, To the Sun supplient, shew it's a gold: Display thy beams my glorious Sun, and i'le to thee unfold. Those bright locks of hair, Spreading o're each ear, Every crisp and curle; Far more rich then pearl. doth appear: Then be thou constant in thy love, and I will be thy Dear, Till I have possest, Thee whom I love best, I have vow'd for ever: In thy absence never, to take rest: Deny me not thou pretty little one, In whom my hopes are blest.
If a Kiss or two, Can thee a favour do, Were it more than twenty, Love's indu'd with plenty; Lovers know: For thy sweet sake a thousand take, for that's the way to wooe. It doth grieve my heart, From thee for to part; It is to me more pleasant, Ever to be present, where thou art: Yet in the absence of a friend, my love shall never start. As to me thou art kind, Duty shall me bind: Ever to obey thee, Reason so doth sway me, to thy mind: Thou hast my heart where e're thou art although I stay behind. In thy bed or bark, I will be thy mark: Couples yet more loving, Never had their moving: from the Ark, Welcome to me my only joy, all times, be it light or dark.
