COme from the Temple away to the Bed. as the Marchant transports home his trea-sure Be not so coy Lady, since we are wed, tis no sin to tast of the pleasure: Then come let us be, Blith merry and free; Upon my life all the Waiters are gon: and 'tis so that they know where you go, say not no, For I mean to make bold with my owne. What is't to me, though our hands joyned be, if our bodies be still kept assunder, Shall it be said, their goes a married Maid, indeed we will have no such wonder; Therefore let's imbrace, There's non sees thy face, The Bride-maids that waited are gone: non can spy, how you lye nere deny, but say I For indeed ile make bold with my own. Then come let us kiss & let us tast of that bliss which brave Lords and Ladies enjoy'd, If all Maids should bee of the humour of thee, Generation would soon be destroy'd; Then where are those joys The Garls and the Boys,
Wouldst thou live in the world all alone, don't distroy, but enjoy, seem not coy, for a toy, For indeed ile make bold with my own. Sweet Love do not frown, put off thy Gown, tis a Garment unfit for the night, Some say that black hath a relishing smak, I had rather be dealing with white: Then be not afraid, For you are not betray'd, Since we two are together alone: I invite, you this night, to do right, my delight, Is forthwith to make bold with my own Prethee begin don't delay but unpin, for my humour I cannot prevent it, You are too straightlac'd & your Gorget's so fast, undo it or I straightway will rend it Or to end all the strife, Il'e cut it with my knif, Tis to long to stay til it is undone: let thy wast, be unlac'd, and in hast, be imbrac't, For I long to be bold with my own.

FEel here on my hand, how you make me to stand even ready to starve in the cold; O why shouldst thou be, so hard-hearted to me that loves the more dearer then Gold: And as thou hast been, Like fair Venus the Queen, Most compleat in thy parts every ane: let me find, that thy mind, is inclin'd to be kind; So that I may make with my own. As thou art fair, and more sweet then the Air that dallies on Julies brave Roses, Now let mee be, to that Garden a Key, which the Flowers of Virgins incloses, And I will not bee, Too rough unto thee, For my nature unto mildness is prone; do no lesse, but undresse and unlace, all a pace. For this night ile make bold with my own. When I have found, thee temprate and sound thy sweet breast I will take for my Pillow Tis great pitty that we which newly married be should be forc'd to wear the green-Willow: We shall be blest, And live sweetly at rest, When we two are united in one. with content, and consent, I am bent, my intent, Is this night to make bold with my own.
The Ladies Loving Reply. WElcome dear Love, all the powers above, are well pleased at our happy meeting; The heavens have decreed, & the earth is agreed that I should imbrace my own Sweeting: At Bed and at Board Both in Deed and in word, My affection to thee shall shown: thou art mine, I am thine, let us joyne, and combine, Ile not bar thee from what is thy own. Our Brid-bed is made, thou shalt be my comrade for to lodge in my arms all night, Where thou shalt injoy being free from anoy all the sport wherein Love takes delight: Our mirth shall be crown'd, And our triump renownd: Then Sweet-heart let thy valour be shown, take thy fill, do thy will, use thy skill, welcome still why shouldst thou not make bold with thy own The Bride-groom & Brid with much joy on each side then togeather they to Bed both did go But what they did there I did neither see nor hear, nor I do not desire to know, But by Cupids aid, They being well laid, They made sport by themselves alon: being plac'd, she unlac'd, he uncas'd, she imbrac'd, Then he stoutly made bold with his own.
