CANTVS.

〈♫〉〈♫〉 ON a time in summer season, Iocky late with Ienny walking like a lout 〈♫〉〈♫〉 〈♫〉〈♫〉 made loue with talking, when he should be doing, Reason still he cries, when he should dally, dally dally, 〈♫〉〈♫〉 〈♫〉〈♫〉 dally .ii. when he should dally, Ienny sweet Ienny sweet shal I .ii. 〈♫〉〈♫〉 〈♫〉〈♫〉 sweet Ienny sweet shall I shall I, shall I. 〈♫〉〈♫〉

2
Ienny as most women vse it, Who say nay when they would haue it, VVith a bolde face seemed to craue it, With a faint looke did refuse it, Iocky lost his time to dally, Still he cries, sweete shall I, shall I.
3
She who knew that backward dealing, was a foe to forward longing, To auoide her owne hearts wronging, with a sigh loues sute reuealing. Said locky sweet when you would dally, Doe you cry sweet, shall I shal I.
4
Iocky knew by her replying, That a no is I in wooing, That an asking without doing, Is the way to loues denying. Now he knowes when he would dally How to spare sweet shall I shall I.
