A vvell vvishing to a place of pleasure.
To an excellent new Tune.
SEe the building,
where whilest my mistris liued in,
was pleasures essence,
Sée how it dro [...]peth,
And how nakedly it looketh
without her presence:
Euery creature
That appertaines to nature,
[...]'bout this house liuing,
Doth resemble,
If not dissemble,
due praises giuing.
Harke, how the hollow
Windes do blow
aud seeme to murmur,
in euery corner,
for her long absence:
The which doth plainly show
The causes why I do now
All this grief and sorrow shew.
See the garden,
Where I receiude reward in,
for my true loue:
Behold chose places,
Where I receiude those graces,
the Gods might moue
The Queene of plenty
With all the fruits are dainty
delights to please.
Flora springing,
Is euer bringing
Dame Venus ease,
Oh see the Arbour where that she
with melting kisses
distilling blisses,
From her true selfe,
with ioy did rauish me.
The pretty Nightingale
did sing melo [...]iously,
Haile to those Groues,
Where I inioyde those loues
so many dayes
Let the flowers be springing
And sweet birds euer singing
their Roundelaies,
Many Cupids measures
And cause for true Loues pleasures,
be dancd around,
Let all contentment
For mirths presentment,
this day be found:
And may the grasse grow euer green,
where we two lying
haue oft been trying,
More seuerall wayes
then beauties louely Queen,
When she in bed with Mars
by all the Gods was seen.
An Inconstant Female. With a reward of her disdaine in equalitie.
To the same tune.
LOuing mortall,
In loue I here exhort all,
in that estate:
Loue is wasting,
But euerlasting
is womens hate.
Why then liue ye,
Or wherefore alwaies giue ye
your teares and praiers
To fond woman,
Whose minde, so common,
respect no teares.
Oh be ruld, and be aduis d
by one hath seen them,
by one hath known them,
by one hath found them
And their loues [...]o small,
For what must parted be,
To me is nought at all.
Once I loued
But thousand times haue proued
a curious Faire
Helenes feature
Beares this coy creature
and Venus haire,
Cupids dandling,
Her tender breasts handling,
betwixt them lies.
Loue pursued,
The more I viewed,
loue did more rise.
She did feed me with delay,
and swore to haue me,
not once to leaue me,
but vow d to loue me,
With the like respect,
When she another Sweet-heart
Better did affect,
Uoid of sorrow,
A patience pure I borrow,
and wait the time:
She neglectfull,
Of some respectfull,
doth let me pine.
Loue increased,
But could not be released,
the more I sue,
She vngratefull.
To me turnes hatefull.
false, faire, untrue
Spend [...] loue. or time of feares,
I am neglected,
not once respected,
but quite reie [...]ted,
And can nothing gaine,
But false dissembling loue,
Or fond to loue in vaine
Now a Trovlus
I still must liue, yet ioylesse
of Cresida:
Loues mistaken,
And I forsaken,
am left for aye:
Faire she fed me,
Untill my Daphne fled me,
with swiftest wings,
Faire she proued,
But false she loued
so Syrens sings
But now my Loue hath proued vntrue,
disdaining pitty,
to one so witty,
Ile sing this ditty,
Thus the n [...]ce shall sound,
False-hearted fickle Maids
Are better lost then found.
FINIS.
