TWo Lovers by chance they did meet, possessed with a mutual flame, And now you shall hear how they greet, for I will declare the same: Quoth he, thou hast sparks in thine eyes, that do kindle in me such a fire, I comforts shall clearly despise, if you do not grant me my desire. O Sir, quoth this pritty young Maid, let me know what tis you would have, For you need not at all be afraid, I will grant what in reason you crave: For I ner in my life could deny, what a man did in Justice require, But you and I soon shall comply, and Ile warrant Ile quench thy loves fire.
With that he began to draw nearer, and gave her an amorous Kiss, He said, he lovd dearer and dearer, and longed to tast of the bliss: Quoth he, tis the Babes in thine eyes, that set my poor heart all on fire, Then do not thy Lover despise, but grant me my wish and desire. If thou art so earnest to dally, come make use of time while you may, Thy skill I will not undervalue, then prithee Love lets to the play; Methinks thou art somewhat too tedious, tis time that we should have been nigher, To linger it seems to be grievous, Ile warrant ile quench thy loves fire.
THe Young man supposing her greedy, fell eagerly unto the sport, He found she was wanting and needy, and needless it was for to Court: But as they were hugging together, she cryd O, come nigher and nigher, His heart was as light as a Feather, and he had both his wish and desire. The Damsel was mightily pleased, and kist him a thousand times ore, Quoth she, now my sorrows are eased, but I must have a little touch more; O lye down a while for to rest thee, that I may enjoy my desire, I hope that the fates they will bless thee, I quench, but thou kindlest my fire. No longer he stood there delaying, but stoutly he fell tot agen, Where he gave a push at their playing, the Damsel returned him ten: For she grew more eager and eager, her eyes they did sparkle like fire, Quoth he, I do owne Im the weaker, but still I enjoy my desire.
Quoth she, now how should I be served, if thou shouldst have got me with Child, But tis no more then I deserved, for I was a little too wild: I thought long till I did begin it, and burnt with a fervent desire, What pleasure I felt in one minute, adds fuel to amorous Fire. The young-man began for tyre, and his Cudgels began to lay down, Which made the young Damsel admire, and straight she began for to frown: Quoth he, I have done what is fit, no reason can more require, But her brows then upon him she knit, and she still did want her desire. Then young men provide and be lusty, again you do come to be tryd, For Maidens look sowre and crusty, when their wants cannot well be supplyd: But twas an Old Proverb I heard, though Men burnt with amorous ire, That Damsels when once they come near, could quench their most vigorous Fire.
