ALas I am in love, and cannot speake it, My mind I dare not move, nor nere can break it, She doth so farre excell all and each other, My mind I cannot tell, when we are together. But Ile take heart to me, I will reveale it, Ile try her constancy, Ile not conceale it, But alas, but alas I doe consider, I cannot breake my mind, When etc. Her loving lookes and smiles, hath so bewitcht me, Her vertue me beguiles, she hath inricht me, Shees so faire, shees so rare, her due to give her, Makes me I cannot speake, when etc.
Our oft frequented jests, are turnd to earnest, In th night I cannot rest, for loves severenesse, It hath turnd, it hath burnd, my heart for ever, Alas I cannot speake, when etc. Like to the foolish Flies, too long I have dallyed With her bright glistering eyes, my Fort shee[]th sallied, That I have scorcht my wings, and heart for ever, Alas etc. Her presence is my joy, her want my sadnesse, When I her face enjoy, I am turnd to gladnesse, And wish our company may last for ever but yet I etc.

I Thinke she loves me well, but I nere broke it, I am sure I love her well, though I nere spoke it, And my love to her shall prove, constant forever, Although etc. Suppose she loves me not, or loves another, Too much yet care I not, still I will love her, And doe vow to be true, and faithfull for ever, Although etc. I will doe the best I can, Ile strive to please her, I will doe any thing, whereby to ease her. Over Sea I will flee, swimme like Leander, Before Ile loose her love, through the world Ile wander.
And Ile doe much more too, if sheele command it, Ift be to lose my life, Ile not gaine stand it, But alas, but alas, I doe consider, I cannot speake my mind when etc. The more I strive to hide, the more it flameth, These paines I cannot bide, my wits it lameth. And if it hidden be, will burne for ever, Unlesse I speake my mind, when etc. I thinke twere good I tride, and went to prove her, And lay all feare aside, stoutly to move her, But when I am going to speake, my tongue doth quiver, And will not breake my mind, when we are together.
