WAlking in a pleasant Garden, in the prime time of the Spring, There I heard a proper maiden, to her sweetheart sweetly sing; He fell closely to h[i]s wooing, and by no means would be said nay; She seemd loath to yield unto him, and to him these words did say: With a ha ha ha you will undoe me, O so wild and rude you are, Yet kind heart I needs must love thee, because thou camst with me so far. Fair maid, quoth he, let me be doing, for with thee I mean to try, Thou shalt have a world of pleasure, of brave sport as well as I: I will hug thee, I will kiss thee, I will love thee till I dye: But as he made suit unto her, she to him made this reply; With a ha, etc. Her shooes were made of Spanish Leather, her stockings were of finest silk; Fitting for the Summers weather, and her skin as white as milk:
Her face was of a fair complexion, her eyes like glistering Stars did shine, Cupid movd the Lads affection, with his Lover to combine: She cryd out, etc. Prethee sweet-heart do not dally, nor delay no time with me, Stand not fooling shilly, shally, but be courteous and agree: If I may obtain thy favour, for to take the fruits of love, I will do my best endeavour, and will kind unto thee prove. Still she cry'd, etc. Why then quoth he farewel forever, if thou wilt not yield unto me, Since I have done my endeavour, now I take my leave of thee. Never more will I come near thee, but thy company will refrain, Because I see thou dost but jeer me, i'le not trouble thee again. With a ha ha ha you will undo me, O so wild and rude you are, Yet I cannot chuse but, etc.
WHen she heard he would be jog-ing and so leave her there alone Stay a while said she sweet Robin be not thou so quickly gone. Thou shalt have what thou desirest now of pleasure take thy fill, Try me as thy mind requirest and perform thy chiefest skill. Now sweet-heart thou art welcom to me, act thy part and do not spare, For I know no harm thou'lt do me, then what need have I to fear. Then he pul'd out his golden Rapier, being in a merry vain, She began to mount and caper and bid him to the sport again: He set his foot against a wall, and she her back against a tree, He look't East, and she look't West to see what company was neigh, Sweet-heart, etc. Jupiter began to Thunder, Venus blusht the same to see, Juno she did greatly wonder that such pretty sport should be. But when their joyful Jig was ended, and their merry fisk was done;
She his sk[i]ll so much commended wishing it were fresh begun, Saying sweet-heatt thourt welcom to me please thy fancy do not spare, etc. Then upon her back he blowd her, down upon a bank of flowers; When that he had overthrowd her then she cryd the game is ours: More then twenty times he kist her, yet she said she felt no pain. Sometimes he hit, sometimes he mist het she bid him come again, Saying sweet-heart thourt welcome to me please thy fancy do not spare, etc. All you fair Maids that hears my Sonnet I would have you think on this, And consider well upon it that you do nothing amiss: Kissing, playing, talking courting, these are things young-men will do, Maidens may with them be sporting yet be fair and honest too. She said no more sir you'l undo me, O so wild and rude you are: Yet she said sweet-heart I love thee because you come with me so farr.
