Loue without Lucke , Or The Maidens Misfortune To the Tune of the new Celebrand .

IN the swéet temperate Ayre of a May Morning , When Ver and Flora faire had bene adorning The louely Fields and Meades , Ualleyes and Mountaines , Chéering the bubbling Brookes and streaming Fountaines : When Yonglings sport and play , ( Aestiua's Holyday ) As I walkt on the way for recreation , Where each Lad with his Lasse , Neatly trip on the grasse , As they the Meadowes passe , in louely fashion . Now Groues and Copses lowd Ecchos are ringing , The Mauis Robin , and earely Larke singing , Philomel chaunts her note Iugg , Iugg , most swéetly , And the faire Bird of May Coo-koo discreetly , Each Bird did chirp and sing , To welcome in the Spring , With cheerefull solacing , and fragrant Flowers All louely to the eye , Smelling most curiously , In choice varietie for Ladies Bowers .

Singling my selfe alone for my contenting , I heard a Beautious One sadly lamenting , Teares downe her louely cheekes from eyes distilling , Sighing ; and curst the Time , ere she so willing Had yeelded foolishly , Up her Uirginitie , And growne in misery , after despised Of him she held so deare , Who had pluckt from her there , What she most deemed neere and highly prized . Lands that are morgag'd may oft be redeemed , But Uirgin-Honor lost neuer esteemed : Were she the fairest One Nature ere framed , That matchlesse Iewell gone and she defamed , In scorne it will be said , There goes one was a Maid , Yet hath the Wanton play'd , oh , this doth grieue me , Chiefely to thinke that he Should so inconstant be , Louing him faithfully , thus to deceiue me ▪
The second part . To the same tune .

WIth that againe she wept , Her griefes renewing , Whereon to her I stept , her feature viewing , Thinking some Angell bright in shape of woman , So dazeled had my sight ; for I thinke no man Ere yet beheld with eye One more immortally , ( For wit and modestie , grace , Art , and feature ) Deckt with deportments faire , And Beauties passing rare . Thus I began . Oh Faire Diuinest creature , Tell me , where liues the Man could be so cruell , I le right thee if I can for thy lost Iewell , And force him marry Thee if thou desire it , That hee so false could bee , I doe admire it . Then with teares in her eyes , Mournfully shée replyes , He 's for some golden price , rashly is ventred : Else ore the Seas is gone , With Marquesse Hambleton , And like a periurd one , left mée distempred .

But since the time that hée , the Seas has taken : My friends despightfully , haue mee forsaken : Father , and Mother ; All Brothers and Sisters , Lewd Strumpet doe me call , and as Detesters They loth my company ; I dare not come them nie , But may curse till I die , all false Protestors . That seeke their wils to haue , And yet poore maids deceiue , Then doe no credit giue vnto such Iesters . No mariage yet at home , would I accept on : Till at length ouer come , by this young Captaine , Who had vow'd earnestly hée would mée marry And his faire promises made mée miscarry , For fearing of none ill I yeelded to his will , Sorrow my heart doe kill , being disdained . Let this my misery ▪ To all a warning bee To keepe their chastitie pure and vn 〈…〉 .
FINIS .
