<L>IOy to the per&s;on of my Loue,</L>
<L>Although that &s;he doth me di&s;daine,</L>
<L>Fixt are my thoughts.</L>
<L>And cannot remoue,</L>
<L>But yet I loue in vaine.</L>
<L>Shall I lo&s;e the &s;ight</L>
<L>Of my joy and hearts delight,</L>
<L>Or &s;hall I cea&s;e my &s;ute,</L>
<L>Shall I &s;triue to touch?</L>
<L>Oh no that were too much,</L>
<L>She is forbidden fruit.</L>
<L>Ah woe is me,</L>
<L>That euer I did &s;ee</L>
<L>The beauty that did me bewitch,</L>
<L>But now alas I mu&s;t forgoe</L>
<L>The trea&s;ure I e&s;t&eacute;em'd &s;o much.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>Oh whither &s;hall my &s;ad heart goe,</L>
<L>Or whither &s;hall I flye?</L>
<L>Sad eccho &s;hall re&s;ound my plaint,</L>
<L>Or el&s;e alacke I needs mu&s;t dye.</L>
<L>Shall I by her liue.</L>
<L>That no life to me will giue,</L>
<L>But deadly wounds my heart?</L>
<L>If I flie away,</L>
<L>Oh will &s;he not cry &s;tay,</L>
<L>My &s;orrowes to conuert?</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>Oh no, no, no,</L>
<L>She will not doe &s;o,</L>
<L>But comfortle&s;&s;e I mu&s;t be gone:</L>
<L>But ere I goe</L>
<L>To friend or foe,</L>
<L>Ile loue her, or I will loue none.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>A thou&s;a~d good fortunes fall to her &s;hare,</L>
<L>Although &s;he hath for&s;aken me,</L>
<L>&amp; fill'd my &s;ad heart full of de&s;paire,</L>
<L>Yet euer will I con&s;tant be:</L>
<L>For &s;he is the Dame</L>
<L>My tongue &s;hall euer name,</L>
<L>For branch o<GAP DESC="illegible" EXTENT="1 letter"> mode&s;ty,</L>
<L>Cha&s;t in heart and mind,</L>
<L>Oh were &s;he halfe &s;o kind,</L>
<L>Then would &s;he pitty me,</L>
<L>Oh turne againe,</L>
<L>Be kind as thou art faire,</L>
<L>And let me in thy bo&s;ome dwell,</L>
<L>So &s;hall I gaine,</L>
<L>The trea&s;uer of loues paine:</L>
<L>Till then, my deare&s;t Loue, farewell.</L>
