A pleasant new Court Song Betweene a young Courtier and a Countrey Lasse To a new Court Tune Vâon a Summers time in the middle of the morne A bonny âasse I spide the faârest ere was borne Fast by a standing Poole within a meddow greene She laid her selfe to coole not thinking to be seene She âathered louely flowres and spent her tune in sport As ãâã to Cupids bowres she daily did resort The fields afford content vnto this Maiden kinde Much time and paines she spent to satisfie her minde The Cowslip there she cropt the Daffadill and Dazie The Primrose lookt so trim she scorned to be lazie And euer as shâ did these pretty posies pull She rose and fetcht a sigh and wisht her apron full I hearing of her wish made bold to step vnto her Thinking her loue to winne I thus began to wooe her Faire Maid be not so coy to kisse thée I am bent O fie she cride away yet smiling gaue consent Then did I helpe to âlucke of euery flowre that grew No herbe nor flowre I ââst but onely Time and Rue But she and I tooke paines to gather flowreâ ãâã Untill this Maiden said kinde Sir I le haue no more Yet still my louing heart did proffer more to pull No Sir quoth she I le part because mine apron's full So Sir I le take my leaue till next we méet agâine Rewardâ me with a âisse and thankes me for my paine The second part To the same tune IT was my chance of late to walke the pleasant fields Wher swéet tun'd chirping birds harmonious musicke yéelds I lent a listning eare vnto their musicke rare At last mine eye did glance vpon a Damsell faire I stept me close aside vnder a Hawthorne bryer Her passions laid her downe o're-rul'd with fond desire Alacke fond Maid she cride and straiâht she fell a wéeping Why sufferâst thou thy heart within a false ones keeping Wherefore is Venus Quéene whom Maides adore in minde Obdurate to our prayers or like her fondâing blinde When we do spend our loues whose fond expence is vaine For men are growne so false they cannot loue againe The Quéene of Loue doth know best how the matter stands And Hymen knowes I long to come within her bands My Loue best knowes mâ ãâã and loue repaies with hate Was eueâ Uirgins loue so much vnfortunate Did my loue fickle proue then had he cause to ãâã But I le be iudg'd by ãâã I lou'd him constantây I hearing of her boweâ set bashfulnesse a part And striu'd with all my skill to cheere this Maidens heart I did instruct her loue where loue might be repââd Could I quoth the ãâã loue I were an happy Maid I straight in loue replide In me thou loue shalt finde So made the bargaine sore and eas'd the Maidens minde FINIS Printed for Edward Wright
