To wooe a Mayd FAire Mayd the opportunity of time and place none being by to over-heare us doth invite mée to discover my affection For since nothing can be determined in loves affaires without consent of both parties I meane now so acquaint you with my desire Which is that since my heart hath made choice of you in the way of marriage you would bée pleased to receive my love with like affection I know I might have delivered my mind in more choice and eloquent words but beléeve me that love is truest which speakes plainest Now the reasons that induce mée to séeke your lovs are the vertuous qualities which adorne your mind whose amiable and lovely beauty makes my heart burne with a chast affection Thinke not therefore that any foule desires move me to become a Suitor to y●u nor am I hasty for marriage for if you please to grant mée your love I will stay your leasure to appoint the day to consummate our happinesse I am a young pleader at the Barre of affection and therefore hope you will not discourage me in my first suit but rather since my cause is full of love will at last give me a happy answere Fearfull distrust I know doth plead against me and tels you how Maides have béene deceived by flattering men who have onely made a Complement of love to obtaine their own desires But alas faire Maide condemne not all because some have béene false hearted for I dare promise for my selfe that the streame of my affection slowing from your vertues shall ever kéepe a constant course For the seale of your love is so déepely imprinted in my heart that no time can weare it out and therefore be assured that till you cease to be vertuous which I know is impossible I can never cease to love you And thus swéet Mayd I have unclasped the volumne of my secret thoughts wherein you may read by faire intents which are onely to obtaine your love and ioyne your heart néerer to mine by the inviolable Bond of marriage Let me desire you therefore to unfold your lips and give a favouring answer to my languishing hopes 2. The Maids answer SIr your language is so full of chast affection and delivered with so much mooving passion that had my fancy hitherto entertained a thought of love you had certainly prevailed over the weakenesse of a Mayds resistance But alas your love is a stranger to my heart and therfore blame me not if I dare not receive it as a plaine guest till I have consulted with my owne thoughts Sudden consent is alwaies held dangerous and is still followed by repentance And therefore give me leave to consider your late motion I wil study your satisfectiō in my answer which if it proove not to your content yet it shall expresse my thankfulnesse for that love you beare me In the meane time I must dismisse my selfe from your company for I feare my mother hath tooke notice of our conference and so for my abrupt departure if it be any breach of manners I must relye on your parton 3. To urge a suite the secondtime THe next day repairing to the former place I spyed these two Lovers lying on a bank of Flowers so that using the friendship of some bushes to hide me I lay downe and so u●seene over-heard the former Sutor renewing his sute in these words Faire Mayd now is the time that your promise hath ingag'd you to give an answer to my doubtfull feares and now I am to receive my sentence from you which I hope shall be full of comfort since the greatest offence wherewith you can charge my heart is onely this that I love you and therefore I came to this place full of hope to be made happy by your answer so let mée returne full of ioy by your frée consenting to my former motion But what néede I doubt or afflict my selfe with vaine feares since I doe reads some comfort in your chéerefull countinance which caynot like a cruell Iudge smile and condemne at once M● heart doth presage that during my absence Cupid hath wrought in your heart a good opinion of mée which if you are unwilling to let your tongue confesse lest a bush should spread it self upon your chéeke I am content to take you● silence for my answer so you will suffer me ac●cording to the rules of love to interpret that silence for consent But say I sée your lips are ready to prepare my doome and therefore with patience I will expect my sentence either of life or death since it is in your power to raise mee up or cast me downe 4. The Mayds answer SIr I perceive the love that you professe unto me can receive no alteration by time for I was in good hope that your two dayes absence would have inform'd your iudgement to place your love on some more worthy choyce But now since you are bent still to prosecute your former suite and will not beléeve me when I ●ell you how much I want of those v●●tues which you attribute to me I hope you will not ●lame mée if I consent to your former motion for I beléeve you love me in the way of mar●●ge and in that assuran● I grant you my love ●●aine 5. The Lovers reply IT is a grant that makes me happy and now let me seale my patent with this kisse for you have given me your love and with it a little world of happinesse So that there remaines nothing but that we appoint our wedding day which I will not hasten through any forward desire of mine owne For since I have obtain'd your promise for marriage I doe beléeve that our hearts are already married in heaven before a Congregation of Angels which the Church shal but only publish and make known to the world And so bidding adieu to vaine Complements which onely became mée as a Sutor I hope I may now say you are mine as I am yours 6.
