IF she be not kinde as fair But peevish and unhandy Leave her she 's onely worth the care Of some spruce Jack-a-dandy I would not have thee such an Ass Hadst thou nere so much leasure To sigh and whine for such a Lass Who●e pride 's above her pleasure Make much of ev'ry buxom Girl Which needs but little courting Her value is above the pearl That takes delight in sporting A Catch 62. HE that will win a widdows heart Must bear up briskly to her She loves the Lad that 's free and smart But hates the formal Wooer Song 63. LAdies though to your conqu'ring eyes Love owes his chiefest Victori●s And borrows those bright Arms from you With which he does the world subdue Yet you your selves are not above The Empire nor the gri●fs of Love Then wrack not Lovers with disdain Lest Love on you revenge her pain You are not free because y' are fai● The Boy did not his Mother spare Beauty 's but an offensive Dart It is no Armour for the Heart Song 64 PHillis though your powerful charms Have forc'd me from my Caelia's Arms That sure defence against all Pow'rs But those resistless eyes of yours Think not your Conquest to maintain By rigour or unjust disdain In vain fair Nymph in vain you strive For Love do's seldom hope survive My heart may languish for a time While all your glories in their prime May justifie their cruelty By the same force that conquer'd me When Age shall come at whose command Those Troops of Beauty's must disband A Tyrants strength once took away What slave 's so dull as to obey Those threatning dangers to remove Make me believe at least you love Dissemble well and by that art Preserve and govern still my heart But if you 'l choose another way To save your Empire from decay Oh then for ever fix your throne Be kinde but kinde to me alone Song 65. A Myntas he once went astray But now again hath found his way Mad Lovers oft do please themselves With noise and janglings of the Bells And fancie there some warbling Note As Ecchoing from a Mistriss throat And why disturb'd then should they be Since Love on Earth's our Diety But those who reason do preserve Make all things to their purpose serve Taught then by that example I Loves power now will soon defie Although fond Cupid once prevail'd His passions not on me entail'd No Son of his I 'le boldly say I 'm made of Steel and not of Clay Hold let me not this God despise For fear he rob me of my eyes His pow'r subjects and can destroy I 'le therefore stoop unto the Boy By yielding to his moderate fire I may an easier way expire So sweet a death gives us no pain Whilst dying we revive again Song 66. FAir Phydelia tempt no more I can thy Beauty now no more adore Nor offer to thy shrine I serve a more Divine And great●r far than you Hark the Trumpet calls away We must go Lest the foe Get the field and win the day Then march bravely on Charge them in the Van. Our cause Gods is Though the odd's is Ten times ten to one Tempt no more I may not yield Although thine eyes A Kingdom may surprize Leave off thy wanton tales The High-born Prince of Wales Is mounted in the field Where the Loyal Gentry flock Though forlorn Nobly born Of a ne'r decaying Stock Cavaliers be bold Bravely keep your hold He that loyters Is by Traytors Meerly bought and sold. One Kiss more and so farewel Fie no more I prethee fool give o're Why cloudst thou thus thy beams I see by these extreams A woman's heaven or hell Pray the King enjoy his own That the Queen May be seen With her Babes on Englands Throne Rally up your men One shall vanquish ten Victory we come to try Our Valour once agen Song 67. WEre Celia but as chaste as fair How could I kiss the Snare And never be Weary of my Captivity But shee 's a whore that cools my blood Oh that she were less handsom or more good Would you believe that there can rest Deceit within that brest Or that those eyes Which look like friends are onely spies But shee 's a whore yet sure I lie May there not be degrees of chastity No no what means that wanton smile But onely to beguile Thus did the first Of women make all men accurst I for their fakes give women o're The first was false the fairest was a whore Song 68. THe morning doth waste To the Meadows let 's haste For the Sun doth with glory shine on them The Maidens must rake Whilest the Haycocks we make Then merrily tumble upon them The envy of Court Ne'r aims at our sport For we live both honest and meanly Their Ladies are fine But to Venus encline And our Lasses are harmless and cleanly Then let us advance Our selves in a Dance And afterwards fall to our labor No measure we meet Nor Musick so sweet To us as a Pipe and a Tabor Song 69. IN the merry moneth of May On a morn by break of day Forth I walked the Woods so wide When as May was in her pride There I spied all alone Philliday and Coridon Much ado there was I wot He could love but she could not His love he said was ever true Nor was mine e're false to you He said he had lov'd her long She said love should do no wrong Coridon would kiss her then She said maids must kiss no men Till they kiss for good and all Then she made the shepherds call All the Gods to witness south Ne'r was lov'd a fairer youth Then with many a pretty Oath As yea and nay and faith and troath Such as silly shepherds use When they will not love abuse Love that had been long deluded Was with kisses sweet concluded And Philliday with Garlands gay Was crown'd the Lady of the May. Song 70. DOwn in a Garden sate my dearest love Her skin more soft than doun of Swan More tender hearted than the Turtle Dove And far more kinde then bleeding Pellican I courted her she rose and blushing said Why was I born to live and die a Maid With that I pluckt a pretty Marygold Whose dewy leaves shut up when day is done Sweeting I said arise look and behold A pretty Riddle I 'le to thee unfold These leaves shut in as close as cloyster'd Nun Yet will they open when they see the Sun What mean you by this Riddle Sir she said I pray expound it Then I thus began Are not men made for Maids and Maids for men With that she chang'd her colour and grew wan Since now this Riddle you so well unfold Be you the Sun I 'le be the Marygold Song 71. THe Pot and the Pipe The Cup and the Can Have quite undone quite undone Many a Man The Hawk and the Hound The Dice and the Whore Have quite undone quite undone Many a Score Song 72. LOve is a sowre

time and nodd●ng lay And listned bending all one way The Aspen-tree As fast as he Began to shake and learn to play If wood could speak a tree might hear If wood could sound true grief so near A tree might drop an Amber tear If wood so well Could ring a Knell The Cypress might condole the Beer The standing Nobles of the Grove Hearing dead wood to speak and move The fatal Ax began to love They envy'd Death Which gave such breath As men alive do Saints above Song 190. CHloris forbear a while Do not o're joy me Urge not another smile Lest it destroy me That Beauty passeth most And is best taking VVhich is soon won soon lost Kinde yet forsaking I love a coming Lady faith I do But now and then I 'd have her scornful too O're-cloud those eyes of thine Boo-peep thy features Warm with an April slune Scorch not thy creatures Still to display thy ware Still to be fooling Argues how rude you are In Cupids Schooling Disdain begets a smile scorn draws us nigh 'T is cause I would and cannot makes me try Chloris I 'd have thee wise VVhen Gallants view thee Courting do thou despise Fly those pursue thee Fast moves an appetite Makes hunger greater VVho 's stinted of d●light Falls to 't the better Be coy and kinde by times be smooth and rough And buckle now and then and that 's enough Song 191. YOu say you love me nay can swear it too But stay Sir 't will not do I know you keep your Oaths Just as you wear your Cloaths VVhile new and fresh in fashion But once grown old you lay them by Forgot like words you speak in passion I 'le not believe you I. Song 192. YE Fiends and Furies come along Each bring a Crow and massie Prong Come bring your Sheckles and draw near To stir up an old Sea-coal cak't That in the hallow hell hath bak't Many a thousand thousand year In sulphurous Broth Tyrius hath boil'd Basted with Brimstone Tarqui● hath broil'd Long long enough then make room Like smoaky Flitches hang 'um by Upon their sooty Walls to dry A greater Ravisher will come If you want fire fetch it from Aetna pure Yet stay a while and do not stir For if his glowing eyes should chance On Proserpine to shoot a glance He is so hot he 'd ravish her Song 193. GO happy heart for thou shalt lie Intomb'd in her for whom I die Example of her cruelty Tell her if she chance to chide Me for slowness in her pride That it was for her I dy'd If a tear escape her eye 'T is not for my Memory But thy Rights of Obsequy The Altar was my loving breast My heart the sacrificed beast And I was my self the Priest Your body was the sacred shrine Your cruel minde the Power Divine Pleas'd with hearts of men nor Kine Song 194. AH Chloris that I now could ●it As unconcern'd as when Your infant beauty cou'd beget No pleasure nor no pain When I the Dawn us'd to admire And prais'd the coming Day I little thought the growing fire Would take my rest away Your charms in harmless childhood lay Like mettals in the Mine Age from no Face took more away Than youth conceal'd in thine But as your Charms insensibly To their perfection prest Fond Love as unperceiv'd did flie And in my bosom rest My passion with your Beauty grew And Cupid at my heart Stil as his Mother favor'd you Threw a new flaming Dart. Each glory'd in their wanton part To make a Lover he Employ'd the utmost of his art To make a Beauty she Though now I slowly bend to love Uncertain of my fate If your fair self my chains approve I shall my freedom hate Lovers like dying men may well At first disorder'd be Since none alive can truly tell What fortune they must see Song 195. ALl joy unto that happy pair Which this day united are Though all the world suffer'd decrease Yet may their love never grow less But still recru●ted every day With fresh delights may it encrease And may it lasting be As vast Eternity May never fatal accident have force To interrupt the pleasing course Of their united passions till they grow So far above all here below They may themselves so happily deceive As to believe That though they 're here Yet they in Heav'n do fill a sphear Song 195. Dialogue Pastoral Strephon and Phillis Phil. STrephon what envious cloud hath made All o're thy face this sullen shade Strephon. It is the Index of my grief Phil. But say admits it no relief Thy now neglected flock doth stray The Wolf securely takes his prey And thy discarded Pipes lies by Whilst thou under some Bench do's lie Or Mirtle in the shady Grove And sigh'st and pin'st like one in love Str. Ah Phillis thou hast touch'd me now I can't my passion disavow At that word Love my heart do's rise And with it strangely sympathize Ph. But who did thus your heart surprize Str. It was the shepherdess whose eyes Are brighter far than any ray The Sun disclosed on May-day Ph. Who was it Strephon tell me true Str. Ah Dearest Phillis it was you Ph. Strive not false shepherd to deceive A Nymph too easie to believe A passion which she likes so well Such falshood would deserve a Hell Str. May th' Gods for whom fat Lambs I feed That on their smoaking Altars bleed All my devoutest pray●rs despise And all my humble sacrifice Or what 's greater Curse may I Find nought from thee but cruelty If I do love my Phillis less Than my own greatest happiness If truth doth not with swains reside Where is she in the world beside Phil. I can't distrust so lov'd a truth Deliver'd by so sweet a youth Chorus of two Le ts joyn our hands and hearts we●l'out-vie The Gods themselves with our felicity Chorus of four Let those that in deceitful Courts do dwell Delay their joys and tedious suits pursue Voices Our honest words their courtship far excel 'Mongst unambitious shepherds love is true Song 196. HAste sluggish morn why dost thou stay This is Venus Holiday Can nothing bribe thee can no charms Force thee from thy Tython's Arms Oh yonder comes the expected guest Sol from his Chambers of the East And do's me thinks dance as on Easter day Th' intelligences on the sphears do play The winged Songsters of the Groves Do celebrate the union of these loves The Heavens do smile the Earth and all conspire To make the joys of thy blest time entire Come forth fair Bride what wouldst thou be Wedded to Virginity Haste to the Temple do not stay Kill not him with thy delay Whose expectations calls each hour a day Lo now breaks forth the beauteous dame Like Lightnings sudden flame Her high in●●nuating power 's such It melts the soul but not the body touch The Bridegroom all do envy each should be The principal in this solemnity But now to Church they walk And
