VPon a Summers time, in the middle of the morne, A bonny Lasse I spide, the fairest ere was borne, Fast by a standing Poole, within a meddow greene, She laid her selfe to coole, not thinking to be seene. She gathered lovely flowers, and spent her time in sport: As if to Cupids bowers she daily did resort. The fields afford content unto this maiden kinde, Much time, and paines she spent, to satisfie her minde. The Cowslip there she cropt, the Daffadill and Dazie: The Primrose lookt so trim, she scorned to be lazie, And ever as he did, these pretty posies pull, She rose and fetcht a sigh, and wisht her apron full.
I hearing of her wish, made bold to step unto her: Thinking her love to winne, I thus began to wooe her, Faire maide, be not so coy, to kisse thee I am bent: O fie, she cride, away yet smiling gave consent. Then did I helpe to plucke of every flower that grew, No herbe nor flower I mist, but onely Time and Rue. Both she and I tooke paines to gather flowers store, Untill this maiden said, kind sir, Ile have no more. Yet still my loving heare did proffer more to pull, No sir, quoth she, ile part, because mine aprons full. So sir, ile take my leave, till next we meet againe: Rewards me with a kisse, and thankes me for my paine.

IT was my chance of late, to walke the pleasant fields: Where sweet tund chirping birds, harmonious musicke yeelds. I lent a listening eare unto their musicke rare: At last mine eye did glance upon a Damsell faire. I stept me close aside, under a Hawthorne bryer: Her passions laid her downe, ore-ruld with fond desire. Alacke fond maide she cride, and straight fell a weeping, Why sufferest thou thy heart, within a false ones keeping? Wherefore is Venus Queene, whom maids adore in mind, Obdurate to our prayers, or like her fondling blinde: When we doe spend our loves, whose fond expence is vaine: For men are growne so false, the cannot love againe. The Queene of love doth know, best how the matter stands,
And Hymen knowes, I long to come within her hands. My love best knowes my love, and love repaies with hate, Was ever virgins love, so much unfortunate? Did my love fickle prove then had he cause to flye: But Ile be judgd by love. I lovd him constantly. I hearing of her vowes, set bashfulnesse a part, And strivd with all my skill, to cheere this maidens heart. I did instruct her love, where love might be repaid: Could I, quoth she, find love, I were an happy maid. I straight in love replide, in me thou Love shalt finde: So made the bargaine sure, and easd the Maidens minde.
