The Reuolted Louer. OR A young Maiden is apt to be wonne, Approued by what this Damsell hath done.
To a pleasant new tune.
ONce I loued a Maiden faire,
but she did deceiue me,
She with
Venus might compaire,
in my mind, beleeue me
she was young,
and among
Creatures of temptation:
who will say,
but Maidens may,
Kisse for recreation?
Maidens faire, haue a care,
chastitie is fading:
Want of grace in a place,
made her use her trading,
I did think her
for to be
Chaster then
Diana,
but the Boy
hath blinded me,
More then euer any,
Thrée times I made it knowne
to the Congregation,
That the Church had her owne,
as Priest had made relation.
married we
straight must be,
Although we go a begging:
but now by
loue
'tis like to proue
a very hopefull wedding.
She did sweare and protest,
with fluent teares wéeping
Aboue all men she loued me best,
and said I was her sweeting
but alas,
false it was,
Chastitie was voiding:
euery one
may freely chuse
Her beauty that loues trading.
Then let young men be aduisd,
trust not any wanton
Beauty being too high-prizd,
finde such ground to plant on,
that no man,
do what he can,
Shall confine their duties,
they will gad
and be mad,
To shew forth their beauties.
Happy he who never knew
what to Loue belonged:
Maidens wauering and vntrue,
many a man haue wronged:
so hath she,
wronged me,
By her false dissembling:
for to heare
her to sweare
Oft my heart was trembling,
The Second part.
To the same Tune.
BUt the chiefest cause is this,
was by some perswasions.
Who intic'd her to do amisse,
by their strong temptations
she was apt
to be trapt.
being young and stupid:
many stroue
for her loue,
pricked on by
Cupid.
I do scorne and detest,
to haue any Riuall:
Let her take whom she likes best,
sith for her they striue all:
when I wed
Ile be sped,
with one whose minde is fixed,
and my loue
nere to moue:
Ile not be commixed.
In my loue with any man,
Ile haue all, or nothing,
If she loue another man,
to me her loue is loathing:
I will scorne
ere to mourne
for a wanton feather:
if I finde
her vnkinde,
then the Déel gang with her.
You who take so much delight
in getting handsome Lasses,
Alas, they will delude your sight,
I pitty much your cases:
their bright eyes
can surprize
men that do behold them;
young mens words
them affords
matter to new mould them.
Farewell thou faithlesse Girle,
Ile not sorrow for thee:
Once I held thée deare as pearle,
but now I do abhorre thée:
hadst thou staid
still a maid,
and modestie retained,
then my mind
firme combind,
had with thee remained.
But now I am resolued,
nere with thee to marry
Til soule and body be dissolued,
I wil rather tarry,
if I finde
to my minde
one of vertues children,
then I soone
will haue done.
but Ile tarry till then.
FINIS.
