A pleasant new Court Song , Betweene a young Courtier , and a Countrey Lasse , To a new Court Tune .

V●on a Summers time , in the middle of the morne , A bonny ●asse I spide , the fa●rest ere was borne , Fast by a standing Poole , within a meddow greene , She laid her selfe to coole , not thinking to be seene . She ●athered louely flowres , and spent her tune in sport : As 〈◊〉 to Cupids bowres she daily did resort . The fields afford content vnto this Maiden kinde , Much time and paines she spent , to satisfie her minde . The Cowslip there she cropt , the Daffadill and Dazie : The Primrose lookt so trim , she scorned to be lazie : And euer as sh● did these pretty posies pull , She rose and fetcht a sigh , and wisht her apron full . I hearing of her wish , made bold to step vnto her : Thinking her loue to winne , I thus began to wooe her ▪ Faire Maid , be not so coy , to kisse thée I am bent : O fie , she cride , away , yet smiling gaue consent . Then did I helpe to ●lucke of euery flowre that grew , No herbe nor flowre I ●●st , but onely Time and Rue . But she and I tooke paines to gather flowre● 〈◊〉 , Untill this Maiden said , kinde Sir , I le haue no more . Yet still my louing heart did proffer more to pull . No Sir , quoth she I le part , because mine apron's full ▪ So Sir . I le take my leaue ▪ till next we méet ag●ine : Reward● ▪ me with a ●isse and thankes me for my paine .
The second part , To the same tune .

IT was my chance of late , to walke the pleasant fields : Wher swéet tun'd chirping birds , harmonious musicke yéelds . I lent a listning eare vnto their musicke rare : At last mine eye did glance vpon a Damsell faire . I stept me close aside , vnder a Hawthorne bryer : Her passions laid her downe , o're-rul'd with fond desire . Alacke fond Maid she cride , and strai●ht she fell a wéeping , Why suffer●st thou thy heart , within a false ones keeping ? Wherefore is Venus Quéene , whom Maides adore in minde , Obdurate to our prayers , or like her fond●ing blinde : When we do spend our loues , whose fond expence is vaine ? For men are growne so false , they cannot loue againe . The Quéene of Loue doth know , best how the matter stands , And Hymen knowes ▪ I long to come within her bands . My Loue best knowes m● 〈◊〉 ▪ and loue repaies with hate : Was eue● Uirgins loue , so much vnfortunate ? Did my loue fickle proue , then had he cause to 〈◊〉 : But I le be iudg'd by 〈◊〉 , I lou'd him constant●y . I hearing of her bowe● , set bashfulnesse a part And striu'd with all my skill , to cheere this Maidens heart . I did instruct her loue , where loue might be rep●●d : Could I , quoth the 〈◊〉 loue , I were an happy Maid . I straight in loue replide . In me thou loue shalt finde : So made the bargaine sore , and eas'd the Maidens minde .
