A SONG.
1.
WHen young folkes first begin to love,And undergoe that tedious taske,It cut's and scowres throughout the powersMuch like a running glasse.
2.
It is so full of sodain joyesProceeding from the Heart,So many tricks, and so many toyes,And all not worth a Fart.
descriptionPage 30
3.
For Venus loved Vulcan,Yet she would lye with Mars,If these be honest tricks my love,sweet love come kisse mine
4.
If that which I have writ,Be unmannerly in speech,Yet when occasion serves to shire,Will serve to wipe your breech.
5.
Thus kindly and in Courtesie,These few lines I have written,And now O love come kisse mineFor I am all beshitten.
