WHen I had seen this Virgins end, I sorrowed as became a friend, And wept to see that such a maid, Should be by faithlesse love betraid, But woe (I feare) will come to thee, That was not true in love as she. The Birds did cease their harmony, The harmlesse Lambes did seem to cry: The Flowers they did hang their head, The Flower of Maidens being dead, Whose life by death is now set free. And none did love more deare then she. The Bubling Brooks did seem to mone And Eccho from the vales did grone: Dianaes Nimphs did ring her knill, And to their Queene the same did tell: Who vowed by her chastitie That none should take revenge but she. When as I saw her corpes were cold, I to her lover went and told, What chance unto this Maid befell, Who said, Im glad she sped so well, Dee thinke that I so fond would be To love no Maid but onely she: I was not made for her alone, I take delight to heare them mone: When one is gone I will have more, That man is rich that hath most store: I bondage hate I must live free, And not be tide to such as she.
O Sir remember then (quoth I) The power of heavens all seeing eye, Who doth remember vowes forgot, Though you deny you know it not: Call you to minde this maiden free, the which was wrongd by none but thee Quoth he I have a love more faire Besides she is her Fathers heire: A bonny Lasse doth please my minde, That unto me is wondrous kinde: Her will I love and none but she, Who welcome still shall be to me. False minded man that so would prove Disloyall to thy dearest Love: Who at her death for thee did pray, And wisht thee many happy day. I would my Love would but love me, Even halfe so well as she lovd thee. Faire Maidens will example take, Young men will curse thee for her sake: Theyle stop their eares unto our plaints, And call us devils seeming Saints: Theyle say to day that we are kind, To morrow in another minde.
