Loue without Lucke, Or The Maidens Misfortune

To the Tune of the new Celebrand.

[figure]

IN the swéet temperate Ayre

of a May Morning,

When Ver and Flora faire

had bene adorning

The louely Fields and Meades,

Ualleyes and Mountaines,

Chéering the bubbling Brookes

and streaming Fountaines:

When Yonglings sport and play,

(Aestiua's Holyday)

As I walkt on the way

for recreation,

Where each Lad with his Lasse,

Neatly trip on the grasse,

As they the Meadowes passe,

in louely fashion.

Now Groues and Copses

lowd Ecchos are ringing,

The Mauis Robin, and

earely Larke singing,

Philomel chaunts her note

Iugg, Iugg, most swéetly,

And the faire Bird of May

Coo-koo discreetly,

Each Bird did chirp and sing,

To welcome in the Spring,

With cheerefull solacing,

and fragrant Flowers

All louely to the eye,

Smelling most curiously,

In choice varietie

for Ladies Bowers.

[figure]

Singling my selfe alone

for my contenting,

I heard a Beautious One

sadly lamenting,

Teares downe her louely cheekes

from eyes distilling,

Sighing; and curst the Time,

ere she so willing

Had yeelded foolishly,

Up her Uirginitie,

And growne in misery,

after despised

Of him she held so deare,

Who had pluckt from her there,

What she most deemed neere

and highly prized.

Lands that are morgag'd

may oft be redeemed,

But Uirgin-Honor lost

neuer esteemed:

Were she the fairest One

Nature ere framed,

That matchlesse Iewell gone

and she defamed,

In scorne it will be said,

There goes one was a Maid,

Yet hath the Wanton play'd,

oh, this doth grieue me,

Chiefely to thinke that he

Should so inconstant be,

Louing him faithfully,

thus to deceiue me▪

[Page]

The second part.

To the same tune.

[figure]

VVIth that againe she wept,

Her griefes renewing,

Whereon to her I stept,

her feature viewing,

Thinking some Angell bright

in shape of woman,

So dazeled had my sight;

for I thinke no man

Ere yet beheld with eye

One more immortally,

(For wit and modestie,

grace, Art, and feature)

Deckt with deportments faire,

And Beauties passing rare.

Thus I began. Oh Faire

Diuinest creature,

Tell me, where liues the Man

could be so cruell,

Ile right thee if I can

for thy lost Iewell,

And force him marry Thee

if thou desire it,

That hee so false could bee,

I doe admire it.

Then with teares in her eyes,

Mournfully shée replyes,

He's for some golden price,

rashly is ventred:

Else ore the Seas is gone,

With Marquesse Hambleton,

And like a periurd one,

left mée distempred.

[figure]

But since the time that hée,

the Seas has taken:

My friends despightfully,

haue mee[?] forsaken:

Father, and Mother; All

Brothers and Sisters,

Lewd Strumpet doe me call,

and as Detesters

They loth my company;

I dare not come them nie,

But may curse till I die,

all false Protestors.

That seeke their wils to haue,

And yet poore maids deceiue,

Then doe no credit giue

vnto such Iesters.

No mariage yet at home,

would I accept on:

Till at length ouer come,

by this young Captaine,

Who had vow'd earnestly

hée would mée marry

And his faire promises

made mée miscarry,

For fearing of none ill

I yeelded to his will,

Sorrow my heart doe kill,

being disdained.

Let this my misery▪

To all a warning bee

To keepe their chastitie

pure and vn [...].

FINIS.

Editorial practices

EEBO-TCP is a partnership between the Universities of Michigan and Oxford and the publisher ProQuest to create accurately transcribed and encoded texts based on the image sets published by ProQuest via their Early English Books Online (EEBO) database (http://eebo.chadwyck.com). The general aim of EEBO-TCP is to encode one copy (usually the first edition) of every monographic English-language title published between 1473 and 1700 available in EEBO.

EEBO-TCP aimed to produce large quantities of textual data within the usual project restraints of time and funding, and therefore chose to create diplomatic transcriptions (as opposed to critical editions) with light-touch, mainly structural encoding based on the Text Encoding Initiative (http://www.tei-c.org).

The EEBO-TCP project was divided into two phases. The 25,363 texts created during Phase 1 of the project have been released into the public domain as of 1 January 2015. Anyone can now take and use these texts for their own purposes, but we respectfully request that due credit and attribution is given to their original source.

Users should be aware of the process of creating the TCP texts, and therefore of any assumptions that can be made about the data.

Text selection was based on the New Cambridge Bibliography of English Literature (NCBEL). If an author (or for an anonymous work, the title) appears in NCBEL, then their works are eligible for inclusion. Selection was intended to range over a wide variety of subject areas, to reflect the true nature of the print record of the period. In general, first editions of a works in English were prioritized, although there are a number of works in other languages, notably Latin and Welsh, included and sometimes a second or later edition of a work was chosen if there was a compelling reason to do so.

Image sets were sent to external keying companies for transcription and basic encoding. Quality assurance was then carried out by editorial teams in Oxford and Michigan. 5% (or 5 pages, whichever is the greater) of each text was proofread for accuracy and those which did not meet QA standards were returned to the keyers to be redone. After proofreading, the encoding was enhanced and/or corrected and characters marked as illegible were corrected where possible up to a limit of 100 instances per text. Any remaining illegibles were encoded as <gap>s. Understanding these processes should make clear that, while the overall quality of TCP data is very good, some errors will remain and some readable characters will be marked as illegible. Users should bear in mind that in all likelihood such instances will never have been looked at by a TCP editor.

The texts were encoded and linked to page images in accordance with level 4 of the TEI in Libraries guidelines.

Copies of the texts have been issued variously as SGML (TCP schema; ASCII text with mnemonic sdata character entities); displayable XML (TCP schema; characters represented either as UTF-8 Unicode or text strings within braces); or lossless XML (TEI P5, characters represented either as UTF-8 Unicode or TEI g elements).
