Coridons commendation in the praise of his loue the faire Phillis . To a pleasant new tune .
MY Loue she is faire and honest , I know she is faire and honest , For shée will all her busines doe , I know shée is faire and honest too . My Phillis is full of fauours , And faire as faire may be : Silly Swain●s leaue off your labours , Shée will loue no man but me . For she is most faire and honest , I know she is faire and honest : And will each vertuous businesse doe , I know she is faire and honest too . No sugred tempting tongue , Nor golden promise faire , Can doe my Phillis wrong , Or her good name impaire . For she is faire and honest , I know shee is faire and honest : And will doe st●ll what maids will doe , Yet is shée faire and honest too . Shée hath a charming voyce , Not lik● her in musicke many : Yet Phillis remaines my choyce , And will not be won by any . For shée is most faire and honest , I know shee is faire and honest : And will show fauor as others doe Yet is she faire 〈…〉 If Cupid bend his bow , His shaft she turnes aside , And tells him whither to goe , That can it better abide . So shée is faire and honest , I know shée is faire and honest : And will performe what others doe , Yet is shée faire and honest too . My Phillis can Garlands make , To set on her louers head : And gallantly vndertake , To deck out a Bridall bed . Yet is she faire and honest , I know she is faire and honest , And will shew loue as Maidens doe , Yet she is faire and honest too . My Phillis can foote it right , And follow the Bagpipes droone : When Coridon comes in sight , Experience must be showne . So still she is faire and honest , I know she is faire and honest , And take pleasure as others doe , Yet is she faire and honest too . When mirthfull May comes in , My Phillis will vndertake , 〈…〉 at shall begin ,
The second Part. To the same tune .
YEt still she is faire and honest , I know she is faire and honest , And make sport as maides will doe , Yet is she faire and honest too . No lasse in all our towne , In sporting or in play , Can put my Phillis downe , She beares so great a sway . Yet is she faire and honest , I know she is faire and honest : Though she c●n such like pastimes doe , Yet is she faire and honest too . Her huswiserie's well knowne , There s nothing goes to wracke , She kéepes full well her owne , While other good lasses lacke . Yet is she faire and honest , I know she is faire and honest , And can good houshould-busines doe , I know she is faire and honest too . My loue can brew and bake , As other huswiues can : And make a boul●ed cake , To giue her neighbors man . Yet is she true and honest , I know she is true and honest , Though she such friendly tricks can doe , Yet is she true and honest too , My loue can milke a Cow , And teach a calfe to suck : And knowes the manner how , To set a brooded Duck. So is she wise and honest , I know she is wise and honest : And can such houshould busines doe , So is she wise and honest too . My loues a louely lasse , Her Coridon must loue , And times will come to passe , When maids and men may proue . For she is true and honest , I know she is true and honest , And will loue as maids will doe , Yet is she faire and honest too . You shepheard swaines be wise , Chuse one as I haue done , That will not be precize , But be with reason wone . For she is faire and honest , I know she is faire and honest , And will her husbands pleasures doe , Therefore she is faire and honest too . FINIS .
