Truths Integrity: OR, A curious Northerne Ditty, called, Love will finde out the way.
To a pleasant new Tune.
OVer the Mountaines
and vnder the Waues,
Ouer the Fountaines
and vnder the Graues:
Ouer Rockes which are the stéepest,
which doe Neptune obey,
Ouer floods which are the déepest,
Love will find out the way.
Where there is no place
for the Glow-worme tolye,
Where there is no space
for the receit of a fiye,
Where the Gnat she dares not venter,
lest her selfe fast she lay,
But if Loue come hée will enter,
and will find out the way.
You may estéeme him
a child by his force,
Or you may déeme him,
a Coward which is worse:
But if hee whom Loue doth honour,
be conceal d from the day,
Set a thousand guards vpon him,
Loue will find out the way.
Some thinke to lose him
which is too vnkind,
And some doe suppose him
poore heart to be blinde:
If that he were hidden,
doe the best that you may,
Blind Loue, if so you call him.
will find out the way.
Well may the Eagle
stoope downe to the sist,
Or you may inueagle
the Phenix of the East,
With feare the Tigers's moued,
to giue ouer his prey,
But neuer stop a Louer,
he will poast on his way.
From Douer to Bar wicke,
and Nations thoroughout,
Braue Guy of Warwicke,
that Champion so stout.
With his War-like behauiour,
Through the world he did stray
To win his Phillis fauour,
Loue will finde out the way.
In order next enters,
Bevis so braue,
After aduentures,
and policie graue,
To sée whom he desired,
his Iosian so gay,
For whom his heart was fired,
Loue found out the way.
The second part. To the same Tune.
THe Gordian knof,
which true lovers knit,
Vndoe you cannot,
nor yet breake it:
Make vse of your inuentions,
their fancies to betray.
To frustrate your intentions,
Love will finde out the way.
From Court to the Cottage,
in Bower and in Hall,
From the King vnto the Beggar,
Love conquers all:
Though nere so stout and Lordly,
striue doe what you may,
Yet be you nere so hardy,
Love will finde out the way.
Loue hath power ouer Princes,
and greatest Emperour,
In any Prouinces,
such is Loues power,
There is no resisting,
but him to obey,
In spight of all con testing,
Love will finde out the way.
If that hée were hidden
and all men that are,
Were strictly for bidden,
that place to declare:
Winds that haue no abidings,
pittying their delay,
Will come and bring him tidings,
and direct him the way.
If the earth should part him,
he would gallop it ore,
If the Seas should orethwarthim,
he would swim to the shore:
Should his loue become a Swallow,
through the ayre to stray,
Loue would lend wings to follow,
and will finde out the way.
There is no striuing
to crosse his intent,
There is no contriuing,
his plots to preuent:
But if once the message gréet him,
that his true Loue doth stay,
If death should come and meet him,
Loue will finde out the way.
FINIS.
