The Two kinde Louers : OR , The Maidens resolution and will To be like her truer Loue still . To a Dainty new tune .

TWo louely Louers , walking all alone : The Female to the Male , was making pittious mone : 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 waite on thee in thy weary Pilgriage . 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 Auror● , 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 odoriferous perfume : Be thou the Rain-bow , I le be the colours many , Be thou the cloud , I le be the weather rainy . Be thou the Lyon , I le be the Lionesse : Be thou the seruant , I le be the Mistresse : 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 dye , my life i le euer hate : Be thou the nimble Fairy , that trips vpon the ground , And I will be the circle , where thou maist dance a round Be thou the swan , i le be the bubling riuer : Be thou the gift , and I will be the giuer : Be thou the chast Diana , and I will be as chast : 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 triple Mace , Be thou the iocund Hunter , i le be the Deere in Chase .
The Second Part. To the same Tune .

BE thou the Shepheard , i le be the Shepherdesse , To sport with thee in ioy and happinesse : I will be the Marigold , 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 yong , I le spend my blood , to succour thee from wrong : Be thou the Gardner , and I will the flowers , That thou maist 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 Vine , In sweet concordance , to smypathize and twine , Be thou the Pilot , i le be the Sea mans Card , I le be the Tayler . and thou shalt be my yard : Be thou the Weauer , and i le the shu●●le be , Be thou the 〈…〉 e●er , and I will be the tree . Be thou the Black-smith , I will be the Forge : Be thou the Waterman , I will be the barge : Be thou the Broker , and I will be the Pawne : Be thou the Parasite , and I will learne to fawne . These louely Louers being thus combind , Most equally agreed both in heart and mind . Accursed may they be , who seeke to part these twaine Whom Loue and Nature did to loue ordaine . I wish all yong men , that constant are in Loue , To find out a woman that will soloyall proue : And to all honest Maidens , in heart I wish the same , That Cupids lawes may be deuoyd of blame .
