The DESPAIRING LOVER Whose Mind with Sorrow much was discontented Because of his true Love he was prevented To the Tune of Aim not too high BReak heart and dye I may no longer live T' enjoy this World nothing that I would give I live forlorn all joys are from me fled I have lost my Love alas my heart is dead Each thing on earth continueth with his Love The pritty Hidgeon and the Turtle dove And divers others in this World I know But my Love will not seem to love me so I little thought what true I now do find I did not dream my Love would prove unkind But 't is no news for many proves untrue And so doth mine for she bids me adieu Seeing 't is so I 'll turn a Palmer poor And I will range abroad the World half o'er To see if I can find some dismal cave There will I dwell there will I d●g my grave I will go travel to some new found Land To France to Spain and Turky out of hand Where unto Strangers there I will complain How that my Love hath me unkindly slain If I do land upon some new found shore Whereas no M●n did ever land before Then should I think myself in happy case For my delight is in a silent place There will I write my fill of my true Love Did I say true what fancy did me move 〈…〉 her true that always was unkind But now her smiles are turn'd to frowns and fire To kill my heart with woe is her desire Bright Phebus beams are darkned in the skies When as the storms of Boreas do arise But she doth quickly shine after the rain But my coy Mistress will not love again I would I were now sin●ing in the Seas In some frail vessel if the Fates did please Where neither love nor comfort could be found But every hour expecting to be drown'd My speeches all do but prolong my pain For I did never sail the Ocean main Nor will I suffer life in me to ' bide So long to wait the time of wind and tide Seeing 't is so to the wilderness I 'll hie Amongst wild beasts where I intend to dye Where lyons tygers bears and panthers mourn With dragons elephants and unicorn Thus many wishes I have wisht in vain And none of these can ease me of my pain This piercing poniard now shall end the strife And kill my heart that loaths this mortal life This being spoken forth His Love did rush Beholding him with many a smile and blush O hold quoth for and hear what I do say Do not despair nor work thy lives decay 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 fair I pray come lend an ear 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉

Love alone No no my Love I will not prove untrue Nor will I change an old Friend for a new Thou shalt not need to turn a Palmer poor For I for thee have gold and silver store Instead of finding out some secret place Thou shalt have me within thy arms t' imbrace Thou shalt not travel to another land For i'l● be ready still at thy command Thou shalt my Dear have no cause to complain For I with joy thy love will entertain If thou hadst landed on some fo●reign shore Whereas no Man did ever land before But seeing thou art here alive with me Thou shalt not go hence dangers for to see What wilt thou

your Pilot to some other Land Sweet Love abroad much dangers do ensue The Seas and Wilderness bids thee adieu Ne'er seek to write nor think of wind and tide But live with me and I will be thy Bride O stay at home my Love and go not there Wild beasts in pieces will thy body tear When I behold them for to suck thy blood They shall have mine my Love to do thee good Lo thus to thee my Love I do make known Vowing hereafter I will be thy own O stay thy hand my Love and do not kill Thy gentle heart which I do love so well Then straight he took his Love into his arms That had preserv'd his body from
