A Louer forsaken , Of his best Beloued . To an excellent new Court Tune .

IOy to the person of my Loue Although that she doth me disdaine , Fixt are my thoughts , And cannot remoue : But yet I loue in vaine . Shall I lose the sight . Of my ioy and hearts delight , Or shall I cease my suit ; Shall I striue to touch ; Oh no , that were too much , She is forbidden fruit . Ah woe is me , That euer I did see The beauty that did me bewitch , But now alas I must forgoe The treasure I esteemd so much . Oh whither shall my sad heart go ; Or whither shall I flie ; Sad eccho shall resound my plaint Or else alacke I needs must dye . Shall I by her liue , That no life to me will giue , But deadly wounds my heart ; If I flie away , O will she not cry stay , My sorrow to conuert ; Oh , no , no , no , She will not doe so , But comfortlesse I must be gone : But ere I goe , To friend or foe , I le loue her , or I will loue none . A thousand good fortunes fall to her share Although she hath forsaken me , & fil'd my sad heart full of despaire , Yet euer will I constant be , For she is the Dame . My tongue shall euer name , For branch of modestie . Chast in heart and minde , Oh were she halfe so kinde , Then would she pitty me . Oh turne againe , Be kinde as thou art faire , And let me in thy bosome dwell , So shall I gaine The treasure of Louens paino , Till then , my dearest Loue , farewell . FINIS .
