A Posie sent with a paire of Gloues , shewing what a young man should most respect in his choyce . I loue thy Beauty , vertue most , For vertues found when beautie 's loft .
The Posie of a Ring from a crost Lover . No hap so hard , As loue debard .
Another . A happy Breast ▪ Where Loue doth rest .
All perfect loue , Is from aboue . The sight of this , Deserues a kisse .
A young man to his Loue , wrought in a Skarfe . A constant heart within a womans breast Is Ophir gold Within an Iuory Chest .
Her kind answere . Of such a treasure then art thou possest , For thou hast such a heart in such a breast .
The Posie of a Ring . To me till death , As deare as breath .
Another . In thee a flame , In me the same .
Another . Where once I choose , I nere refuse .

If woman should to man be woe , She should not be what God did make her , make her , That was to be a helper so , God then did giue , man now doth take her . man now doth take her .

The maydens reply in a Handkercher , in which was the shape of a Heart , with an arrow through it . A flying heart , a piercing dart , doth well deserue ; So be it with me , if I from thee shall euer swerue .
Thou mine , I thine .
Another . Be true to me , as I to thee .
A young mayd to he Loue in a Skarfe . She that of all doth loue thee deerest , Doth send the this which as thou wearst ; And oft do● looke on , thinke on mee , As I by thine do thinke on thee .

Rose mary Rose , I send to thee , In hope that thou wilt marry mee : Nothing can be sweete Rose , More sweeter vnto Harry , Then marry Rose , Sweeter then this Rose-mary .
The sweet reply in a conceit of the same &c. sent by Rose with a Vyoll of Rose-water of her owne making . Thy sweete commends againe , my sweetest Harry , And sweete Rose water , for thy sweete Rose-mary : By which sweete Hal , sweete Rose doth let thee ses , Thy loues as sweet to her , as hers to thee .
