AS I walkt forth to take the Air One morning musing all alone, I heard a young man full of care Thus to himself did make great moan. My dearest dear and I must part, So sad and and heavy is my heart, It doth increase my misery My love, that I must part from thee. But no leave of my love I'll take, I will but wander for her sake, And like Leander I will prove So true and constant to my love. For dost thou think I'll vow and swear And not my promise to fulfil, Then deal with me as I deserve, If I be not thy true love still.
My Lands and Livings are but small For to maintain my love withal, But with my labour and my pain My dearest dear for to maintain. Thy Friends do owe to me grudge Because to thee I hear good will, But stand thou up in my defence, And I will be thy true love still. If I had Gold and Silver store, As much as ever Cressus won, 'Twere all too little for my love, Considering what for me she's done. Now hand in hand with thee I'll go, Through mirth and melody and woe, Nay through the world I'll go with thee What e're betides to my body.
<seg n="1" rend="left"><hi rend="bold"><hi rend="italic">The second Part to the same Tune.</hi></hi></seg>
THe pale-fac't Moon shall loose her light, The glorious Sun shall darkned be: And Stars shall from the Heavens fall My love ere I prove false to thee. There shall no grass grow on the plain Nor blossom bud upon the tree, All fruit shall have a deadly wound, My love ere I prove false to thee. The swiftest River shall run back The Wind shall drive the Water-mill, And the brightest day shall turn to night If I be not thy true love kill. Thus he did languish all alone And sore he was opprest with grief, At last his love did hear his moan And strait she came to his relief. The Maids Answer. My dearest why dost thou complain And grieve thy heart since I am true, Fear not that I will thee disdain I'le never change thee for a new. Thou shalt not part from me my dear For wander in an unknown Land, A part in all thy grief i'le hear And alwayes be at thy command. As true as ever Hero was To her Leander I will proevve. Were it to cross the Hellespont, I would not fear to find my love. Thy Oaths and Vows I do beleive And plainly I thy love do see, It very much my heart doth grieve That thou shouldst so lament for me.
What tho my friends do at thee frown And will not yield I should thee love Fear not since I wil be thy own And constant ever I will prove. The Lambs shall with the Lyons play And timerous Hares the Hounds persue, The Element shall pass away E're I to thee will prove untrue. No Snow shall lye upon the Alpes Nor flames break out from AEtna's Hill, The wild Beast shall forsake their walks If I be not thy true love still. Therefore my dear, let sorrow cease And come for to imbrace my own, Which will my former joys increase For thee I love and thee alone. The Conclusion. When he had heard her sweet reply His dying spirits did revive, Quoth he for love I will not dye I am the happiest man alive. Blest be the time that my true love Did hither come to chear my heart, Her constancy I now do prove Nothing but death shall us two part. Great joy there was when they did meet And loving Complements did pass, And many times with kisses sweet He did embrace his amorous lass. Let all young lovers that do here This Song, be faithful to their choice. Then each one may enjoy their dear Which true lovers doth much rejoyce.
