TWo louely Louers , walking all alone , The Female to the Male , was making pitious moane : Saying , if thou wilt goe , Loue , let me goe with thee , Because I cannot liue , without thy company . Be thou my Master , I le be thy trusty Page , To wayte on thee in thy weary Pilgrimage . So shall I still enioy thy ▪ louely presence , In which alone consists my earthly essence . Be thou the Sunne , I le be the beames so bright , Be thou the Moone . I le be the lightest night : Be thou Aurora , the vsher of the day , I will be the pearly dew , vpon the flowers gay . Be thou the Rose , thy smell I will assume , And yeeld a sweet odiferous perfume : Be thou the Rain-bow , Il 〈…〉 colours many , 〈…〉 cloud , 〈…〉 weather rainy . Be thou the Lion , I le be the Lionesse : Be thou the seruant , I le be the Mistrese : Be thou the Porpentine , and I le be the quill , That wheresoeuer thou goest : I may be with thee still . Be thou the Turtle ; and I will be thy Mate , And if thou die , my life I le euer hate : Be thou the nimble Fairy . that trips vpon the ground , And I will be the circle , where thou mayst dance aroud . Be thou the Swan , I le be the bubling riuer : Be thou the gift , and I will be the giuer : Be thou the chaste Diana , and I will be as chaste ; Be thou the Time , I le be the houres past . Be thou the Ship , I le be the surging Seas . That shall transport my Loue , where he doth please : Be thou the Neptune , I le be the triple Mace , Be thou the iocund Hunter , I le be the Déere in chase .
The second part . To the same tune .

BE thou the Shepheard , I le be the Shepheardesse , To sport with thee in ioy and happinesse : I will be the Marygold , if thou wilt be the Sunne : Be thou the Fryer , and I will be the Nun. I will be the Pelican , and thou shalt be the young , I le spend my blood , to succour thee from wrong : Be thou the Gardner , and I will be the flowres , That thou mayst make me grow with fruitfull showres . Be thou the Falconer , the Falcon I will be , To yeeld delight and pleasure vnto thee : Be thou the Lanthorne , I will be the light , To lead thee to thy fancy euery darkesome night . Be thou the Captaine , I le be the Souldier stout , And helpe in danger still to beare thee out : Be thou the louely Elme , and I will be the Uine , In sweet concordance , to sympathize and twine . Be thou the Pilot , I le be the Sea-mans Card , I le be the Taylor , and thou shalt be my yard : Be than the Weauer , and I le the shuttle be , Be thou the Fruterer , and I will be the Tree . Be thou the Black-smith , I will be the Forge : Be thou the Water-man , and I will be the Barge : Be thou the Broker , and I will be the Pawne , Be thou the Paresite , and I will learne to fawne . These louely Louers being thus combin'd , Most equally agreed both in heart and mind . Accursed may they be , who seeke to part these Whom Loue and nature did to loue ordaine . I wish all young-men , that constant are in loue , To finde out a woman that will so loyall proue , And to all honest Maidens , in heart I wish the same , That Cupids lawes may be deuoyde of blame . Finis ,
