Thanks be to heau'n, no grieuous smart,No maladies my limbes annoy:I beare a sound and sprightfull heart,Yet liue I quite depriu'd of ioy;Since what I had in vaine I craue,And what I had not now I haue.

3
A Loue I had so fayre, so sweet,As euer wanton eye did see:Once by appointment wee did meete,Shee would, but ah it would not be:She gaue her heart, her hand shee gaue,All did I giue, shee nought could haue.

What Hagge did then my powers forespeake,That neuer yet such taine did feele?Now shee reiects me as one weake,Yet am I all compos'd of steele.Ah this is it my heart doth griue,Now though shee sees shee'le not believe.
