<L><HI>I</HI> Spied a Nymph trip over the plain,</L>
<L>I lur'd to her, &s;he turned again,</L>
<L>I woo'd her as a young man &s;hould do,</L>
<LG TYPE="refrain">
<L>but her an&s;wer was, <HI>Sir, I love not you.</HI></L>
</LG>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>I thought &s;he &s;&eacute;emed in every part</L>
<L>So lovely fram'd by Natures Art,</L>
<L>Her beauty &s;oon allured me to wooe,</L>
<LG TYPE="refrain">
<L>but her an&s;wer was, <HI>&s;ir, <HI>I</HI> love not you.</HI></L>
</LG>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>I told her all the &s;weet of love,</L>
<L>And what&s;oever her mind might move,</L>
<L>To entertain a Lover true,</L>
<LG TYPE="refrain">
<L>but her an&s;wer was, <HI>&s;ir, I love not you.</HI></L>
</LG>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>I told her how I would her deck,</L>
<L>Her head with gold, with pearls her neck</L>
<L>She gave a frown, and away &s;he flew,</L>
<LG TYPE="refrain">
<L>but her an&s;wer was, <HI>&s;ir, I love not you.</HI></L>
</LG>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>Not me (&s;weet-heart) O tell me why?</L>
<L>Thou &s;hould'&s;t my proffered love deny:</L>
<L>To whom my heart I have vowed &s;o true,</L>
<LG TYPE="refrain">
<L>but her an&s;wer was, <HI>&s;ir, I love not you.</HI></L>
</LG>

<LG>
<L>My &s;w&eacute;et and deare&s;t love, quoth I,</L>
<L>Art thou re&s;olv'd a Maid to die?</L>
<L>Of &s;uch a mind I know but few,</L>
<LG TYPE="refrain">
<L>but her an&s;wer was, <HI>&s;ir, I love not you.</HI></L>
</LG>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>This is the plea&s;ant Maying time,</L>
<L>This is the plea&s;ant golden prime,</L>
<L>But age will come and make you to rue,</L>
<LG TYPE="refrain">
<L>that e're you &s;aid, <HI>&s;ir, I love not you.</HI></L>
</LG>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>O do not thou my &s;uit di&s;dain,</L>
<L>Nor make me &s;pend my time in vain,</L>
<L>But kindly grant a Lovers due:</L>
<LG TYPE="refrain">
<L>yet &s;till &s;he &s;aid, <HI>&s;ir, I love not you.</HI></L>
</LG>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>Fair Nymph, quoth I, but grant me this,</L>
<L>To enrich my lips with one poor ki&s;s,</L>
<L>I grant you that which I grant but few,</L>
<LG TYPE="refrain">
<L>yet &s;till &s;he &s;aid, <HI>&s;ir, I love not you.</HI></L>

<L>The young man proffering then to depart</L>
<L>It griev'd this Maiden then to the heart:</L>
<L>For having ki&s;t, O then did &s;he rue,</L>
<LG TYPE="refrain">
<L>that e're &s;he &s;aid, <HI>Sir, I love not you.</HI></L>
</LG>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>Wherefore with &s;peed &s;he thought it be&s;t,</L>
<L>To &s;tay him by her kind reque&s;t:</L>
<L>Who&s;e coyne&s;s thus hath cau&s;'d her to rue</L>
<LG TYPE="refrain">
<L>that e're &s;he &s;aid, <HI>Sir, I love not you.</HI></L>

</LG>
<LG>
<L>But now at la&s;t &s;he did begin</L>
<L>With gentle words to lure him in:</L>
<L>The &s;econd part &s;hall plainly &s;hew,</L>
<LG TYPE="refrain">
