[Page] [Page] The two kinde Louers: OR,
The Maydens resolution and will,
To be like her true Louer still.
To a dainty new tune.
TWo louely Louers,
walking all alone,
The Female to the Male,
was making pitious moane:
Saying, if thou wilt goe, Loue,
let me goe with thee,
Because I cannot liue,
without thy company.
Be thou my Master,
Ile be thy trusty Page,
To wayte on thee
in thy weary Pilgrimage.
So shall I still
enioy thy▪ louely presence,
In which alone
consists my earthly essence.
Be thou the Sunne,
Ile be the beames so bright,
Be thou the Moone.
Ile be the lightest night:
Be thou
Aurora,
the vsher of the day,
I will be the pearly dew,
vpon the flowers gay.
Be thou the Rose,
thy smell I will assume,
And yeeld a sweet
odiferous perfume:
Be thou the Rain-bow,
Il
[...] colours many,
[...] cloud,
[...] weather rainy.
Be thou the Lion,
Ile be the Lionesse:
Be thou the seruant,
Ile be the Mistrese:
Be thou the
Porpentine[?],
and Ile be the quill,
That wheresoeuer thou goest:
I may be with thee still.
Be thou the Turtle;
and I will be thy Mate,
And if thou die,
my life Ile euer hate:
Be thou the nimble Fairy.
that trips vpon the ground,
And I will be the circle,
where thou mayst dance aroud.
Be thou the Swan,
Ile be the bubling riuer:
Be thou the gift,
and I will be the giuer:
Be thou the chaste
Diana,
and I will be as chaste;
Be thou the Time,
Ile be the houres past.
Be thou the Ship,
Ile be the surging Seas.
That shall transport my Loue,
where he doth please:
Be thou the
Neptune,
Ile be the triple Mace,
Be thou the iocund Hunter,
Ile be the Déere in chase.
The second part.
To the same tune.
BE thou the Shepheard,
Ile be the Shepheardesse,
To sport with thee
in ioy and happinesse:
I will be the Marygold,
if thou wilt be the Sunne:
Be thou the Fryer,
and I will be the Nun.
I will be the Pelican,
and thou shalt be the young,
Ile spend my blood,
to succour thee from wrong:
Be thou the Gardner,
and I will be the flowres,
That thou mayst make me grow
with fruitfull showres.
Be thou the Falconer,
the Falcon I will be,
To yeeld delight
and pleasure vnto thee:
Be thou the Lanthorne,
I will be the light,
To lead thee to thy fancy
euery darkesome night.
Be thou the Captaine,
Ile be the Souldier stout,
And helpe in danger
still to beare thee out:
Be thou the louely Elme,
and I will be the Uine,
In sweet concordance,
to sympathize and twine.
Be thou the Pilot,
Ile be the Sea-mans Card,
Ile be the Taylor,
and thou shalt be my yard:
Be than the Weauer,
and Ile the shuttle be,
Be thou the Fruterer,
and I will be the Tree.
Be thou the Black-smith,
I will be the Forge:
Be thou the Water-man,
and I will be the Barge:
Be thou the Broker,
and I will be the Pawne,
Be thou the
Paresite[?],
and I will learne to fawne.
These louely Louers
being thus combin'd,
Most equally agreed
both in heart and mind.
Accursed may they be,
who seeke to part these
Whom Loue and nature
did to loue ordaine.
I wish all young-men,
that constant are in loue,
To finde out a woman
that will so loyall proue,
And to all honest Maidens,
in heart I wish the same,
That
Cupids lawes
may be deuoyde of blame.
