The Court-Miss Converted OR A Looking Glass fo● Ladies Her former errours she doth now repent And with unfeigned tears the same lament Resolving now a godly life to lead And in such wicked paths no more to tread VVhich may a good example be to all To rise from sin if they by frailty fall Tune of Englands fair dainty Dames WHen Phoebus with his Beams guilded the Christial Day I heard a mournful voice thus to lament and say You Ladies of Renown give ear unto my Song Because that unto you it chiefly doth belong Of Noble Parentage 't is known that I was born And those of low Degree too much I held in scorn In my fresh blooming years Pride did possess my mind For costly Rich attire I sought alwaies to find My Glass it was my Book wherein I took delight ●●…t I us'd to look from morning until night And for to tell the truth whilst I was in my prime My Beauty did excell most Ladies fo my time GAllants of high Degree came me for to behold And oft presented me with Chains of beaten gold Happy he thought himself that could my favour gain For I was nice and coy to all that ever came At length my beauty bright was noised in the Court A place of great delight where Gallants do resort Then was I sent for straight by some of high degree Who then did for me wait and took delight in me Such pleasure there I took as did rejoyce my heart All vertue I forsook which did procure my smart The life I there did lead grieves me to think upon For every day I was treated by many one Vntil my Conscience it began for to awake And put me in the mind that lend life to forsake Then from those vain delights I did my self withdraw Resolving for to live up to Gods Holy Law In heart I do Repent my youthful Vanities Praising the Lord that sent his light into my eyes Now from all filthy vice I purpose to refrain And with Repentant tears to wash away my stain And in my Closet I daily will pardon crave And to the Lord will cry that he my Soul will save Let my Example teach Ladies of each degree Those sins for to avoid which wrought my misery For Pride will have a Fall and Beauty is but vain Strive on the Lord to call and from all vice refrain I wish all sinners they do keep these words in mind That so therein they may some comfort daily find Printed for V.
