SWeet Virgin hath disdain movd you to passion: Neer to love man again, but for the fashion. Was your abuse so great, beyond all measure: That you can quite forget to think of pleasure. Though one false-hearted man not to be named. Made you look pale and wan, must all be blamed: As if scarce one were good in a whole City, Your peevish angry mood I can but pity,
Men are not half so bad as you would make them, More Maidens may be had if you forsake them: Therefore I tell you plain, be not disdainful If Cupid shoot again, youl finde it painful. Young men had need beware, lest they be taken, And drawn into a snare, and so forsaken: Many maids prove untrue, take it for certain, Twill be too late to rue of a bad bargain. AB.B.C.DD.E.E.F.FG.HI.KKLLMN N.O.P.Q.R.R.R.S.T.T.U.V.V.W.W.X.Y.ZZ&
MAidens false-hearted are, I can report it: Their craft they will not spare, when they are courted: Theyl bend unto your bowe, their wits are nimble, Its very heard to know when they dissemble. Theyl powder, prank, & paint, with each new fangle; Sometimes sit like a Saint, for to intangle. Their pretty wanton eyes are so alluring, Life and death in them lies, killing and curing. Their beautys like a charme, lovers intrancing; No man receives more harm, then by their glancing. Like Syrens they will sing, their voices ravish; They make the Ecchoes ring, their tongues are lavish. By such alluring baits young men are taken, And then it is their fates to be forsaken: For these inticing Girles are so unconstant. Theyre won and lost again all in an instant,
I have experience had of their false dealing, Some of them are so bad theyre not worth stealing: If one in half a score prove to be vertuous, She shall have Suiters store, her love is precious. Now tell me which are best young men or Maidens, I think tis here confest both have their failings: Therefore be ruld by me, scorn not a young man Theres as much truth in him, as in a woman. Virgins take my advice, be not disdainful; Neither be coy and nice squemish, nor scornful. Tis but a pettish strain for to love no man; If ere you love again, pray love a young man. I am resolved now, though some miscarry, Ile have a Virgin too, with her Ile marry. From Love Ile not refrain, though it be common: But when I love again, Ile love a woman.
