<L>YOu who haue run in <HI>Cupids</HI> maze,</L>
<L>and on fond beauties vainly gaze,</L>
<L>Attend while I explaine my moane,</L>
<L>and think my ca&s;e may be your owne.</L>
<L><HI>Then learne to pitty Lovers teares,</HI></L>
<L><HI>for love is full of cares and feares.</HI></L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>The bitter &s;w&eacute;ets that I did ta&s;te,</L>
<L>and borrowed hours con&s;um'd in wa&s;t,</L>
<L>Makes me my friends with coun&s;ell arme</L>
<L>that they in time may &s;hun like harm.</L>
<L><HI>And learne &amp;c.</HI></L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>A curious beauty I adore,</L>
<L>and mu&s;t though &s;he hate me therefore,</L>
<L>For now I am within the net,</L>
<L>at liberty I cannot get.</L>
<L><HI>Then learne &amp;c.</HI></L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>Ill hap had I to &s;&eacute;e her face,</L>
<L>vnle&s;&s;e her heart would y&eacute;eld me grace:</L>
<L>Her eyes had &s;uch attractiue force,</L>
<L>I n&eacute;eds mu&s;t loue without remor&s;e.</L>
<L><HI>Then learne, &amp;c.</HI></L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>Her haires were <HI>Cupids</HI> chains to tie</L>
<L>me vnto her perpetually,</L>
<L>For I mu&s;t loue her, tis my fate,</L>
<L>and be repaid with mortall hate.</L>
<L><HI>Then learne to pitty Louers teares,</HI></L>
<L><HI>for love is full of cares and feares.</HI></L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>I thinke on her both night and morne,</L>
<L>which when &s;he hears, &s;he &s;aies in &s;corn</L>
<L>If you be fooli&s;h, &s;ir, mu&s;t I</L>
<L>be bound your mind to &s;atisfie?</L>
<L><HI>And thus my &s;ad complaints &s;he jeeres,</HI></L>
<L><HI>for love is full of cares and feares.</HI></L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>She thinks her &s;elfe too high in bloud,</L>
<L>and for to match with me too good,</L>
<L>Fond foole &s;ayes &s;he, art &s;o vnwi&s;e,</L>
<L>to thinke that Eagles &s;trike at flyes?</L>
<L><HI>O yong men pitty Lovers teares,</HI></L>
<L><HI>for love is full of cares and feares.</HI></L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>Such vnequality &s;he makes,</L>
<L>no pitty on my moane &s;he takes,</L>
<L>The more I w&eacute;epe, the more doth &s;he,</L>
<L>in&s;ult ouer my mi&s;ery.</L>
<L><HI>O yong men, &amp;c.</HI></L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>If I to her a letter frame,</L>
<L>&s;he &s;aith &s;he hates to reade my name,</L>
<L>And therefore to preuent that paine,</L>
<L>in &s;corne &s;he &s;ends it back againe:</L>
<L><HI>Then learne &amp;c.</HI></L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>If I doe m&eacute;et with her by chance,</L>
<L>my captiu'd heart (for ioy) doth dance,</L>
<L>But to &s;uppre&s;&s;e that ioy again,</L>
<L>&s;he turnes her face with coy di&s;daine.</L>
<L><HI>Then yong men, &amp;c.</HI></L>

<L>SHe &s;huns my pre&s;ence with ha&s;t,</L>
<L>then ere one word from me is pa&s;t,</L>
<L>Shee's out of &s;ight or out of call,</L>
<L>and will not heare me &s;peake at all.</L>
<L><HI>O yong men pitty Lovers teares,</HI></L>
<L><HI>for love is full of cares and feares.</HI></L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>Sometimes unto her maid I &s;peake,</L>
<L>and &s;he my mind to her doth breake,</L>
<L>Away thou &s;illy foole quoth &s;he,</L>
<L>h&eacute;e's hardly good enough for th&eacute;e.</L>
<L><HI>O yong men, &amp;c.</HI></L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>ThA's &s;he doth &s;triue to vili&s;te</L>
<L>my name with hatefull infamy,</L>
<L>O note the haughty in&s;olence</L>
<L>of maids in fortunes eminence.</L>
<L><HI>And learne, &amp;c.</HI></L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>Wer't not a &s;hame it &s;hould be &s;aid</L>
<L>I woo'd the Mi&s;tre&s;&s;e, yet the maid</L>
<L>I am e&s;t&eacute;em'd &s;carce worthy of,</L>
<L>what man could beare &s;o foule a &s;coffe?</L>
<L><HI>Yet I with patience take the&s;e jeeres,</HI></L>
<L><HI>for love is full of cares and feares.</HI></L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>I would my fancy could di&s;&s;wade</L>
<L>me from the Mi&s;tre&s;&s;e to the maid,</L>
<L>But <GAP DESC="illegible" EXTENT="1 letter"> ala&s;&s;e that may not be,</L>

<L><HI>O yong men, &amp;c.</HI></L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>I wi&s;h I could my heart reclaime,</L>
<L>from doting on this &s;cornfull dame,</L>
<L>For all my &s;ighs and all my care</L>
<L>are like to arrows &s;hot i'th aire.</L>
<L><HI>O yong men &amp;c.</HI></L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>Suppo&s;e &s;he be in her degr&eacute;e,</L>
<L>(as &s;he pretends) too good for me,</L>
<L>In loue the begger and the King,</L>
<L>coequally doe f&eacute;ele the &s;ting.</L>
<L><HI>O yong men &amp;c.</HI></L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>It is her proud fa&s;tidious thought,</L>
<L>that only hath this difference wrought</L>
<L>For in a true impartiall eye,</L>
<L>there's no great odds twixt her and I.</L>
<L><HI>O yong men &amp;c.</HI></L>

<L>Well, if I die as n&eacute;eds I mu&s;t,</L>

<L>And &s;o farewell thou cruell faire,</L>
<L>come gentle death and end my care,</L>
<L>Kind yongmen learne by my behe&s;t,</L>
