GOod morrow Valentine, God blesse you ever, Kind in your promises faithfull was never. Be thou still true to me, The kindest heart Ile be, That ever you did see, kisse and good morrow. I like my choyce so well; Love doth compell me, And force my tongue to tell, the truth is I love thee, Kindly I do request, That in your heart and brest, My love may ever rest, kisse, etc. There was never kind sweet heart That lusted for pleasure, Could find such a Valentine passing all treasure. I have obtain'd the thing, Which to my heart doth bring Great joy which makes me sing, kisse, etc When others sleep in bed I lye still musing, To think on my good hap, I had in chusing. To find such a Valentine, Bearing a faithfull mind, Courteous love and kind, kisse, etc. There is an old proverb That birds of a Feather, Upon St. Valentines day, will meet all together, So when true Lovers meet, With many a kisse full sweet, That day each other greet with kisse and good morrow.
All you that have Val[e]ntines If they be faithful, You have a great blessing, therefore be thankfull And kind to them again, For else I tel you plain, Much love is spent in vain, kisse and good morrow If my Valentine for my sake Would be a Neat-heard, Wel could I find in heart to be a Shepheard, To keep sheep on a hill, So I might have my wil, To talk mith her my fil, while my flock scatters. Shal I live to deny My Valentine for ever, Refrain he[r] company, that wil I never, For if I her refrain, I must not come again, Nor for all worldly gain, for love lasts ever. Adieu to my true Love, Whom I loved ever, When I am out of sight, let not your mind waver: Though Valentines day be gone, And we not both as one, My love to thee alone shal be for ever. Good night to my Valentine, Now I have ended, To stay any longer, I cannot intend it. I wish all young-men kind, That bear a faithful mind, To give their Valentine a kisse and good morrow.
