AS I went forth one Summers day, To view the Meddowes fresh & gay A pleasant Bower I espide, Standing hard by a River side: And int a Maiden I heard cry, Alas theres none ere lovd like I. I couched close to heare her mone, With many a sigh and heavie grone, And wisht that I had been the might That might have bred her hearts delight But these were all the words that she Did still repeate, none loves like me. Then round the Meddowes did she walke Catching each Flower by the stalke, Such as within the Meddowes grew, As Dead-mans-thumb & Hare-bel blew And as she pluckt them, still crid she Alas theres none ere lovd like me. A Bed therein she made to lie, Of fine greene things that grew fast by, Of Poplers and of Willow leaves, Of Sicamore and flaggy sheaves: And as she pluckt them still crid she, Alas theres none ere loud like mee. The little Larke-foot, sheed not passe, Nor yet the flouers of Three leavd grasse With Milkmaids Hunny-suckles phrase The Crows-foot, nor the yellow Crayse, And as she pluckt them still cride she, Alas theres none ere lovd like me.
The pretty Daisie which doth show Her love to phoebus bred her woe, Who joyes to see his chearefull face, And mournes when he is not in place. Alacke, alacke, alacke, quoth she Theres none that ever loves like me. The flowers of the sweetest scent, She bound them round with knotted Bent And as she laid them still in bands, She wept she waild, and wrung her hands Alas, alas, alas, quoth she. Theres none that ever lovd like me. False man (quoth she) forgive thee heaven As I do with my sinnes forgiven: In blest El[i]zium I shall sleep, when thou with pe[j]urd soule shalt weepe: Who when they lived did like to thee, That lovd there loves as thou dost me. When shee had fild her apron full Of such sweet flowers as she could cull, The green Leaves servd her for her Bed The Flowers pillowes for her head. then down she lay, nere more did speak alas with love her heart did breake.
