MY Mistris sings none other song, but stil complains I do her wrong, Beleeve her not it is not so: For I did but kisse her, For I did but kisse her and so let her goe And now she swears I did: but what, Nay, nay, I must not tell you that And yet I will it is so sweet, as teehe taha, as teehe taha. when lovers do meete. But womens words they are heedles, to tell you more it were needles I ran and caught her by the arme, and then I kist her, and then I kist her, was this any harme. Yet out alas shees angry still which sheweth but a womans will She bites the lippe, and cries fie fie, and kissing sweetly and kissing sweetly, away she doth fly. Acteon for one sight did die, so for one sillie kisse must I: Unwares fond love did me betray When I gave her vantage when I gave her vantage and she fled away.
She strived & wrangled ful sore with me and cryedst for shame let it be You doe me wrong to use me so Therefore be quiet, Therefore be quiet and now let me goe. Yet still I held her by the hand her words could not my will withstand she fround, she pouted, she lookt sower and still I held her and stil I held her, within my power. At last she gan for anger cry, and then my hart with griefe did die; I could no longer her containe. But thus we parted But thus we parted unto my great paine. And since when I with her do meete with words unkind she doth me greet At me her wanton head she shakes. and as a stranger and as a stranger my favours she takes. But yet her looks bewrayes content & cunningly her brawles are ment As Lovers use to play and sport, when time and leasure when time and leasure, is too too short.
