TWo lovely Lovers, walking all alone: The Female to the Male, was making pittious mone: Saying, If thou wilt goe, Love let me goe with thee, Because I cannot live, without thy company. Be thou my Master, Ile be thy trusty Page, To waite on thee in thy weary Pilgriage. So shall I still enjoy thy lovely presence, In which alone consists my earthly essence. Be thou the Sunne, Ile be the beames so bright, Be thou the Moone, Ile be the lightest night: Be thou Aurora, the usher of the day, I will be the pearly dew, upon the flowers gay. Be thou the Rose, thy smell I will assume, And yeeld a sweet odoriferous perfume: Be thou the Rain-bow, Ile be the colours many, Be thou the cloud, Ile be the weather rainy.
Be thou the Lyon, Ile be the Lionesse: Be thou the servant, Ile be the Mistresse: Be thou the Porpentine, and ile be the quill, That wheresoever thou goest: I may be with thee still. Be thou the Turtle and I will be thy Mate, And if thou dye, my life ile ever hate: Be thou the nimble Fairy, that trips upon the ground, And I will be the circle, where thou maist dance a round Be thou the swan, ile be the bubling river: Be thou the gift, and I will be the giver: Be thou the chast Diana, and I will be as chast: Be thou the Time, ile be the houres past. Be thou the Ship ile be the surging Seas, That shall transport my Love, where he doth please: Be thou the Neptune, ile bt triple Mace, Be thou the jocund Hunter, ile be the Deere in Chase.
<seg n="1" rend="left"><hi rend="italic">The Second Part. To the same Tune.</hi></seg>
BE thou the Shepheard, ile be the Shepherdesse, To sport with thee in joy and happinesse: I will be the Marigold, if thou wilt be the Sunne: Be thou the Fryer, and I will be the Nun. I will be the Pelican, and thou shalt be the yong, Ile spend my blood, to succour thee from wrong: Be thou the Gardner, and I will the flowers, That thou maist make me grow with fruitfull showres. Be thou the Falconer, the Falcon I will be, To yeeld delight and pleasure unto thee: Be thou the Lanthorne, I will be the light, To lead thee to thy fancy every darkesome night Be thou the Captaine, ile be the Souldier stout, And helpe in danger still to beare thee out: Be thou the lovely Elme, and I will be the Vine, In sweet concordance, to smypathize and twine,
Be thou the Pilot, ile be the Sea mans Card, Ile be the Taylor, and thou shalt be my yard: Be thou the Weaver, and ile the shuttle be, Be thou the Fruterer, and I will be the tree. Be thou the Black-smith, I will be the Forge: Be thou the Waterman, I will be the barge: Be thou the Broker, and I will be the Pawne: Be thou the Parasite, and I will learne to fawne. These lovely Lovers being thus combind, Most equally agreed both in heart and mind. Accursed may they be, who seeke to part these twaine Whom Love and Nature did to love ordaine. I wish all yong men, that constant are in Love, To find out a woman that will so loyall prove: And to all honest Maidens, in heart I wish the same, That Cupids lawes may be devoyd of blame.
