I Will confesse
With Cheerfulnesse,
Love is a thing so likes me,
That let her lay
On me all day,
Ile kiss the hand that strikes me.

2.
I will not, I,Now blubb'ring, cry,It (Ah!) too late repents me,That I did fallTo love at all,Since love so much contents me.

3.
No, no, Ile beIn fetters free;While others they sit wringingTheir hands for paine;Ile entertaineThe wounds of love with singing.

With Flowers and Wine, And Cakes Divine,

To strike me I will tempt thee:
Which done; no more
Ile come before
Thee and thine Altars emptie.
