IN Cambridge lives a Maiden fair, With her there's few that can compare: I her love did seek too long, But she requited me with wrong; Then welcome grief, and care, and woe, Lingring is loves overthrow. As in the Town I walk'd one night The twinkling Stars did shine most bright Pittying of my Loves distress, Whom nature did with beauty bless: Then welcome grief, and care, and woe, Lingring is Loves overthrow. [?]
Boldly I drew the Curtains by, Where charming beauty pierc'd mine ey[e] I should delight I do protest, To entertain so sweet a guest: Then welcome grief, and care, and [woe,] Lingring is loves overthrow. I folded down the Milk-white sheet For to behold her lovely feet; Her fingers that were long and small Were made of purest mold withal: Then welcome grief, and care, and w[oe,] Lingring is loves overthrow. [?]
But fair one know your glass is run, Your time is short, your Thread is spun; Your spotted face, and rare attire Is fuell for eternal fire: And now begins your care and woe, Pride is Beauty's overthrow. Mistake me not Death, I am young; Come not so soon to do me wrong; Take another and set me free, She may serve as well as me: Too soon begins my care and woe, Pride is Beauties overthrow. Take pitty on my roling eye, And count me yet too young to dye; Oh grant to me some longer time, And cut me not off in my prime: Too soon begins my care and woe, Pride is Beauties overthrow. The Roses and the Lillies fair That in my cheeks now painted are, Methinks might so much pitty move, And for to make thee kinder prove: Too soon begins my care and woe, Pride is Beauties overthrow.
Thus with her fainting murmuring breath In vain she courts none-sparing death; While these entreaties he mislikes, And fiercely at her beauty strikes: Too soon began her care and woe, Pride was beauty's overthrow. Panting with Deaths all-killing dart, She did resign her bleeding heart, And pale as Ashes down she fell, Whose beauty lately did excell: Thus ended all her care and woe, Pride was Beauty's overthrow. You that are made of beauties mould, When in a glass you do behold Your lovely features; think on't, then You must to Dust return agen: Take heed of grief, and care, an[d] woe, For Pride will work loves overthrow. Prepare for Death soon as you can, For life is only like a span, Though nature hath you fair ones made, Know that your beauties once must fade. Timely prevent your care and woe, For death will work your overthrow.
