<HEAD>The VIRGIN's COMPLAINT AGAINST Young MENS Unkindne&s;s.</HEAD>
<ARGUMENT>
<L><HI>Of young Mens fal&s;hood &s;he doth much complain,</HI></L>
<L><HI>Re&s;olving never to love Man again:</HI></L>
<L><HI>Experience tells her Men love but for fa&s;hion,</HI></L>
<L><HI>That makes her rail again&s;t them in &s;uch pa&s;&s;ion.</HI></L>

<L><HI>I</HI> Am &s;o deep in love,</L>
<L>I cannot hide it,</L>
<L>It breaks me of my re&s;t,</L>
<L>and of my quiet;</L>
<L>For when I &s;ee his face,</L>
<L>it &s;o inflames me,</L>
<L>That I mu&s;t love him &s;till,</L>
<L>though the world blame me.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>O fye upon this love,</L>
<L>it will undo me,</L>
<L>I'll ne'er love man again,</L>
<L>&s;hould the Gods wooe me;</L>
<L>For if once I can</L>
<L>&s;hake off this pa&s;&s;ion,</L>
<L>I'll ne'er love man again,</L>
<L>but only for fa&s;hion.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>There's no believe in man,</L>
<L>though they &s;eem civil,</L>
<L>For when they <GAP DESC="illegible" RESP="pdcc" EXTENT="1 letter">it like &s;aints,</L>
<L>they think mo&s;t evil;</L>
<L>Therefore be rul'd by me,</L>
<L>never tru&s;t no man,</L>
<L>But if you needs mu&s;t love,</L>
<L>pray love a woman.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>I wi&s;h blind <HI>Cupid</HI> had</L>
<L>been &s;oundly &s;leeping.</L>
<L>When like a crafty lad</L>
<L>he came &s;o creeping,</L>
<L>To wound my tender heart,</L>
<L>and pierce my marrow,</L>
<L>I felt his fatal dart,</L>
<L>to my great &s;orrow.</L>
</LG>

<L>Never poor virgin was</L>
<L>in &s;uch a taking,</L>
<L>I oft lookt in my gla&s;s,</L>
<L>plea&s;ure for&s;aking;</L>
<L>My cheeks were pale and wan,</L>
<L>my lips did trimble,</L>

<L>O what a &s;imple girle</L>
<L>I was for certain,</L>
<L>For to love Lord or Earl,</L>
<L>I will not hearken;</L>
<L>Not one in twenty &s;core</L>
<L>but is deceitful,</L>
<L>Therefore I'll love no more,</L>
<L>men are deceitful.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>It is their con&s;tant trade</L>
<L>to cog and flatter,</L>
<L>Or to delude a maid,</L>
<L>her fort to batter;</L>
<L>But if they prate and lye,</L>
<L>I'll not believe them,</L>
<L>Such love I'll never try,</L>
<L>altho' it grieve them.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>They'll profe&s;s and pretend</L>
<L>much of aff<GAP DESC="illegible" RESP="pdcc" EXTENT="1 letter">ction,</L>
<L>Vntil they make you bend</L>
<L>to love's &s;ubj<GAP DESC="illegible" RESP="pdcc" EXTENT="1 letter">ction:</L>
<L>Of your hearts craftily</L>
<L>they will bereave you,</L>
<L>Till a new face they &s;py,</L>
<L>then they will leave you.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>Their words are all but wind,</L>
<L>like winter weather,</L>
<L>Vncon&s;tant and unkind,</L>
<L>light as a feather:</L>
<L>I tell you flat and plain</L>
<L>I'll not abide it,</L>
<L>To love a man again,</L>
<L>once having try'd it.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>Blame me not though I be</L>
<L>&s;omething in pa&s;&s;ion,</L>
<L>For now I plainly &s;ee</L>
<L>it is the fa&s;hion;</L>
<L>For &s;uch fal&s;e-hearted men</L>
<L>are grown &s;o common,</L>
<L>That when I love again,</L>
<L>I'll love a woman.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>Why &s;hould a woman dote</L>
<L>on &s;uch a bubble,</L>
<L>That's good for nothing but</L>
<L>to procure trouble?</L>
<L>Every day I will pray</L>
<L>for to live &s;ingle,</L>
<L>That my affection may</L>
<L>with no man's mingle.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>Ladies take my advice,</L>
<L>you have rare features,</L>
<L>Always be coy and nice</L>
<L>to &s;uch fal&s;e creatures;</L>
<L>No man will con&s;tant prove,</L>
<L>no not my brother;</L>
<L>Then if you needs mu&s;t love,</L>
<L>love one another.</L>
