2

O it is strange how nature works with me, My body is spent and I lament mine owne great folly, O it makes me sigh and powre forth flouds of teares, Alas poore elfe none but thy selfe would liue, hauing such cares

3

O now I see that fortune frownes on me By this good light I haue beene ripe, O it makes me sigh and sure it will me kill, When I should sleepe I lie and weepe, feeding on sorrowes still.

4

I must confesse as maides haue vertue store, Liue honest still against our wils, more fooles we are therefore: O it makes me sigh, yet hope doth still me good, For if I can but get a man, with him ile spend my blood.
