The Womans Answer.

I Have been sad to see how from methou so long from me did stay,Yet now I more rejoyce to see theehappily arriv'd this way.Thou from our shoreShalt go no moreTo wander thus abroad alone,But thou shalt stay,With me alway,

And her's my hand thou'rt welcom home,

I have prov'd Diana to theesince from me thou went'st away,I have Suitors well nigh twenty,and much ado I had to stay,But I denyedWhen they replyed,And sent them all away with scorn,For I had swornTo live forlorn,

Untill that I see thée come home.

Seeing thou art home returned,thou shalt not go home in hast.But lovingly come sit down by me,let my arms imbrace thy wast.Farewel annoy,Welcome my joy,Now lullaby shall be thy song,For now my heartSings loth to part,

Then kiss, &c.

Since sweet heart thou dost befriend methus to take me to thy loveNever more will I offend theebut will ever constant prove.Thou hast my heart,Not to depart,But ever constant to remain,And thou art mineAnd I am thine,

Then let us kiss and Welcome home.
