When she told him she loved as well as he.
AS well as I? too good for to be true,As well as I? too sweet for to be sure,As well as I? a speech too kind for you,As well as I? too sudden to endure:As well as I? As well as I, I say;I ask no more, I wish no fairer play.
As well as I? then must you change your vain,And watch your times to make your love be
seen,As well as I? then must you leave disdain,And shew your self more kind then you have
been:As well as I? As well as I, I say,I ask no more▪ I wish no fairer play.
As well as I? then will I strive to doMore then I can, to make you do as much,As well as I? then will I be to you,More then I am, to make you to be such:As well as I? As well as I, I say,I ask no more, I wish no fairer play.
