to them I leaue you Which gladly wil receiue you You must go choose some other mate According to your own estate For I do meane to liue in rest Go séek you and léek you an other guest And choose him and vse him as you like best The ioy of Virginitie to The Gods of loue I Iudge and finde how God doth minde to furnish to furnish his heauenly throne aboue With virgins pure this am I sure without misse without misse with other Saints he doth loue It is allowed as you may reade And eke auowed by Paul indéede Virginitie is accepted a thing high in Gods sight Though marriage is selected a thing to be most right yet must I praise Virginitie For I would faine a Uirgin be ¶ You Uirgins pure your selues assure and credite and credite great ioy you shall possesse Which I God knows cannot disclose nor spreade it nor spreade it ne yet by pen expresse Nor halfe the ioies that you shall finde I can not iudge for you assignde When hence your ghost shall yéelded be into the throne of blisse In chaste and pure Uirginitie for thought or deed y wisse Wher you shal raign with God on hie For euermore eternally ¶ And when doubtlesse you shal possesse with Iesus with Iesus these ioies celestiall Then Ladie Fame wil blaze your name amongst vs amongst vs which then on earth raigne shal She wil resound in euerie coast By trumpet sound and wil you boast So that although you do depart This mortall life so vaine Your chastitie in euerie heart by memorie shall remaine But hard it is I saie no more To finde an hundreth in a score Finis ¶ A warning for Wooers that they be not ouer hastie nor deceiued with womens beautie To Salisburie Plaine YE louing wormes come learne of me The plagues to leaue that linked be The grudge the grief the gret anoy The fickle faith the fading ioy in time take béed In fruitlesse soile sow not thy seed buie not with cost the thing that y●…elds but labour lost ¶ If Cupids dart do chance to light So that affection dimmes thy sight Then raise vp reason by and by With skill thy heart to fortifie Where is a breach Oft times too late doth come the Leach Sparks are put out when fornace flames do rage about ¶ Thine owne delay must win the field When lust doth leade thy heart to yeeld When steed is stolne who makes al fast May go on foot for al his haste In time shut gate For had I wist doth come too late Fast bind fast find Repentance alwaies commeth behind ¶ The Syrens times oft time beguiles So doth the teares of Crocodiles But who so learnes Vlysses lore May passe the seas and win the shore Stop eares stand fast Through Cupids trips thou shalt him cast Flie baits shun hookes Be thou not snarde with louely lookes ¶ Where Venus hath the maisterie There loue hath lost her libertie where loue doth win the victorie The fort is sackt with crueltie First look then leap In suretie so your shinnes you kéepe The snake doth sting That lurking lieth with hissing UUhere Cupids fort hath made a waie There graue aduise doth beare no swaie Where Loue doth raigne and rule the roste There reason is exilde the coast Like all loue none except ye vse discretion First try thē trust be not deceiued with sinful lust ¶ Marke Priams sonne his fond deuise When Venus did obtaine the price For Pallas skil and Iunoes strength He chose that bred his bane at length Choos wit leaue wil let Helen be w t Paris stil Amis goeth al wher fācie forceth fooles to fall ¶ Where was there found a happier wight Than Troylus was til loue did light What was the end of Romeus Did he not die like Piramus who baths in blis let him be mindful of Iphis who séeks to plese may riddē be like Hercules ¶ I lothe to tel the péeuish brawles And fond delights of Cupids thrawles Like momish mates of Midas mood They gape to get that doth no good Now down now vp as tapsters vse to tosse y e Cup One bréedeth ioy another breeds as great anoy ¶ Some loue for wealth and some for hue And none of both these loues are true For when the Mil hath lost hir sailes Then must the Miller lose his vailes Of grasse commeth hay And flowers faire wil soon decay Of ripe commeth rotten In age al beautie is forgotten Some loueth too hie and some too lowe And of them both great griefs do grow And some do loue the common sort And common folke vse common sport Looke not too hie Least that a chip fall in thine eie But hie or lowe Ye may be sure she is a shrow ¶ But sirs I vse to tell no tales Ech fish that swims doth not beare scales In euerie hedge I finde not thornes Nor euerie beast doth carrie hornes I saie not so That euerie woman causeth wo That were too broad Who loueth not venom must shun the tode ¶ Who vseth still the truth to tel May blamed be though he saie wel Say Crowe is white and snowe is blacke Lay not the fault on womans backe Thousands were good But few scapte drowning in Noes flood Most are wel bent I must say so least I be shent Finis ¶ An excellent Song of an outcast Louer To All in a Garden green MY fancie did I fixe in faithful forme and frame in hope ther shuld no blustring blast haue power to moue the same ¶ And as the Gods do know and world can witnesse beare I neuer serued other Saint nor Idoll other where ¶ But one and that was she whom I in heart did shrine And made account that pretious pearle and iewel rich was mine ¶ No toile nor labour great could wearie me her●…in For stil I had a Iasons heart the golden fleece io win ¶ And sure my sute was hearde I spent no time in vaine A grant of friendship at her hand I got to quite my paine With solemne vowe and othe was knit the True-loue knot And friendly did we treat of loue as place and time we got ¶ Now would we send our sighes as far as they might go Now would we worke with open signes to blaze our inward wo. ¶ Now rings and tokens too renude our friendship stil And ech deuice that could be wrought exprest our plaine goodwill True meaning went withall it cannot be denide Performance of the promise past was hopte for of ech side ¶ And lookt for out of hand such vowes did we two make As God himself had present been record thereof to take ¶ And for my part I sweare by all the Gods aboue I neuer thought of other friend nor sought for other loue ¶ The same consent
