A good Wife or none To a pleasant new Tune ●●e blazing Torch is soone burnt out the Diamonds light abides the one ●● glory shines about the other it's vertue hides ●hat sparke if any shall be mine that else gives light to none ●or if t● every one shée shine I had rather lie alone the Glow-worm in the dark gives light unto the view of many the Moone she shewes her selfe by night and yéelds her selfe to any 〈◊〉 if my ●ove should séeme to be of every one so knowne 〈◊〉 never more should shine on me I had rather lie alone 〈◊〉 no● consume no● pine away ●o other lovers due ●or such as wandring walke astray and never will prove true 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 as light by any shée as shée by me hath done 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 love 〈◊〉 constancie 〈◊〉 else will lye alone A willow Garland for my head I never meane to weare I néed no pillow for my bed I yet am void of care A single life is without strife and fréed from sigh and grone For such contentments of my life I le choose to lie alone Once did I love the fairest Love that ever eye did sée But she did most inconstant prove and set no love by me And ever since my mind is such to lend my love to none Because I have béen crost so much I le ever lie alone The beautie of the fairest Flowre so pleasing to the eye Doth fade and wither in an houre and no man sets thereby So deales my fairest faire with me her joyes in Love are gone Wherefore the wanton world shall sée I le choose to lye alone The second Part. To the same tune VVEll may we picture Cupid blinde which roving shot his dart And made my lover most vnkinde to steale away my heart Which cannot be restord againe it is so love sicke growne For she hath kil'd it with disdaine therefore I le lie alone Within that face I once did sée two diamond eyes whose bright And glistring beames so dazled me that I was ravisht quite And struck so blind I could not sée the way that I had gone But from fond love I 'm now set frée and choose to lye alone This single life bréeds golden ease no jealous thoughts offend Unwedded wights goe where they please and feare no changing friend While married mates with musing mind doe sob and sigh and grone Because their Turtles prove vnkind therefore I le lye alone What if the Willow Garland be appointed for my lot Yet this content shall comfort me false love is soone forgot A second Love may make amends now that the first is gone For Cresid kind had choyce of friends else still had lien alone For if I could but cull my Choyce out of Diana's traine Who will not heare the tempters voice then might I love againe And choose some yet more constant light then that which lately shone My equall fancie to requite or still I le lye alone For time and opportunitie will win the coyest Dame And overcome the chastest she that beares the bravest name Yea Man was made for Womans good not like the idle drone But for to heat and stirre the blood and not to lye alone FINIS Imprinted at London for Francis Coules
