Pretty Nannie : OR , A dainty delicate new Ditty , fit for the Contry , Town , or Citty , which shewes how constant she did prove unto her hearts delight and onely Love . To a dainty delicate new tune named , Northerne Nannie .

I Haue a Loue so faire , so constant , firme , and kind , She is without compare , whose fancies me doth blind . She is the flower of Maids , that euer was or can be , Faire Mymphs lend me your ayds to sing of my swéet Nannie : Her golden hair , her face so faire , her glancing eye hath wounded me , Her chéeke like show where Roses grow , Pretty Nanny , My Mistris of true constancy I am thine owne and shall be . If Venus would defend , and grant to grace my bed , I would not wrong my friend , by no inticements led : No not the fairest dame , shall win her faucur from me , For in the mind I am , I le honour none but Nannie : For she may command my heart , my hand my body too for to ride or goe , If she but say by night or day , Pretty Nannie , My Mistris of true constancy , I am thine owne and shall be . My loue I will not change for Craesus gold and treasure , Nor will I seem to range from thée my ioy and pleasure : Though some doe count our sex to wauer in affection , Yet doe not thou suspect , for I doe hate that action : My loue is set , none shall me let , nor me perswade , be not afraid , From thée to turne , I le rather burne with fire , Thou plaine shalt see that I love thee , And will yeeld to thy desire . She is so rare and wise , and prudent in her cariage , That gallants did deuise to win her vnto mariage : But she denies all those that doe aske such a question , And to me she doth disclose her constant true affection : She will not lie nor falsifie , but true doth proue like the turtle-doue As I doe find to me she 's kind , Pretty Nannie , My Mistris of true constancy , I am thine owne and shall be .
The second part , To the same tune .

HEr fauour and her face , doe set my heart on fire , When I doe her imbrace , I haue my hearts desire , Her pretty lisping tongue , doth joy my heart in speaking , I thinke no time too long , while I with her kéepe waking : Her lips so soft I kisse full oft , yet shée 'l deny immodestie , My mother 's come , O I must be gone Pretty Nannie , My Mistris of true constancy , I am thine owne and shall be . When I am from her sight , my heart is drown'd with sorrow , If I doe misse one night , I sée her the next morrow : She is my onely deare , my ioy and my swéet pleasure , She is a iewel rare , that far surpasseth treasure : Her glistering eyes like starry skies , her dimpled chin I haue ioyd to sée Her neck so white like christ all bright Pretty Nannie , My Mistris of true constancie , I am thine owne and shall be . For to sell this bargaine now I leaue my heart in pawne , As by a faithful vow , that is betwixt vs twaine : Then doe not thou disdaine my Mistris true for to be , Grant loue for loue againe , my owne swéet pretty Nannie : And with a kisse be friend me this , my Loue adieu I pray be true , My heart with faith for euer saith Pretty Nannie , &c. Then kindly she replide , thou hast thy hearts desire , I le be thy louely Bride , my loue to thée is intire : As I have constant béene , so I le remaine for euer , As plainely shall be seene , from thee I will not seuer : With hand & heart i le take thy part , in wealth and woe I wil doe so , The world shal see that I loue thee ▪ Most kindly , Thy Mistris , &c. Though all my friends doe frowne ▪ and seeme for to preuent me ▪ Not for a thousand pound , that I wil discontent thee : I wil not yeeld to loue , nor fansie any other , My mind shall not remoue , with father nor with mother , I wil not change nor seeme to range ▪ no , I le indure for euer sure , My heart is thine and thou art mine ▪ Sweet honey , &c. What saist thou my sweet heart ▪ wilt thou consent vnto me ? T is thou must ease my smart ▪ or else thou wilt vndoe me : Quoth she I doe consent , to what thou dost require ▪ My selfe I doe present to please thy hearts desire : My loue on thee shal setled be , what thou dost craue I grant you haue my life , my bloud , to doe thee go●● ▪ My hony , Then doe not doubt my constancy , I am thine owne and will be . FINIS . R. C.
