<L>WHen &s;he heared how he died,</L>
<L>in a &s;ad and woful &s;tate.</L>
<L>Bitterly aloud &s;he cryed,</L>

<L>Was I cruel to my jew<GAP DESC="illegible" EXTENT="1 letter">l,</L>

<L>Well &s;he cryed, and replyed,</L>
<L>I &s;hall never &s;ee thee more.</L>

<LG>
<L>O that I had ne'r denied,</L>
<L>what he did propo&s;e to me,</L>
<L>But had willingly complyed,</L>
<L><GAP DESC="illegible" EXTENT="1 line"></L>
<L>Love unfeigned, never &s;tained,</L>

<L>Death po&s;&s;e&s;s me, Heavens Ble&s;s me,</L>
<L>I have ca&s;t thy life away.</L>

<L>He mo&s;t courteou&s;ly did wooe me,</L>
<L>it is I that am too blame,</L>
<L>He did proffer to endue me,</L>
<L>with a plenty to maintain</L>

<L>Oftentime he hath intreated,</L>
<L>that he might &s;alute my hand,</L>
<L>Yea, and many times repeated</L>
<L>he would be at my command</L>
<L>So entire, his de&s;ire</L>
<L>was to love without deceit,</L>
<L>When he &s;miled, I reviled,</L>
<L>and did &s;cornfully retreat.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>Now too late I do repent it,</L>
<L>I have ca&s;t his life away,</L>
<L>Had I but in love con&s;ented,</L>
<L>he had never &s;een the day:</L>
<L>When we parted, broken hearted,</L>
<L>he with &s;orrow was oppre&s;t:</L>
<L>And bewailed, as he Sailed,</L>
<L>over <HI>Neptunes</HI> Curled brea&s;t.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>I in &s;orrow am &s;urrounded,</L>
<L>that I know not where to go,</L>
<L>My poor heart with grief is wounded,</L>
<L>I am in a Sea of woe;</L>
<L>No remi&s;&s;ion, my condition</L>
<L>is to langui&s;h to my grave,</L>
<L>To appea&s;e me, Death come &s;eize me,</L>
<L>this is that I fain would have.</L>

<LG>
<L><HI>Cupid</HI> now doth over rule me,</L>
<L>with his &s;harp &s;everity,</L>
<L>He doth &s;o cha&s;ti&s;e and School me,</L>
<L>For his power; he I devour</L>
<L>all the comfort of my life,</L>
<L>Never cea&s;ing, but increa&s;ing,</L>
<L>death mu&s;t &s;urely end the &s;trife.</L>

<L>Love, the thought of thee is killing,</L>
<L>I am haunted now with fears,</L>
<L>Heart and life with grief is filling,</L>
<L>and a thou&s;and melting tears</L>
<L>Now is flowing, life is going</L>
<L>hence, into Eternity,</L>
<L>Then &s;he cryed, and replied,</L>
<L>love, I'le dye, and come to thee.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>Then her rea&s;on quite for&s;ook her,</L>
<L>falling into deep di&s;pair,</L>
<L>In her hand a Knife &s;he took her,</L>
<L>which did &s;oon her life impair;</L>
<L>She lay bleeding, &s;o exceeding,</L>
<L>bidding now the World adieu;</L>
<L>Death that hour, came in power,</L>
<L>and in full Commi&s;&s;ion too.</L>

<LG>
<L>You that hear this mournful Ditty,</L>
<L>of true Lovers Tragedy,</L>
<L>Let your heart be mov'd to pitty,</L>
<L>learn to love with Loyalty;</L>
<L>Then you'l flouri&s;h, when you nourish</L>

<L>Ne'r conceal it, but reveal it,</L>
