❧ A Newe Ballade of a Louer / Extollinge his Ladye . To the tune of Damon and Pithias .

ALas my harte doth boyle , and burne with in my breste : To showe to thée myne

onely déere , my sute and sure request . My loue no toung can tell , ne pen can well descrye :

Extend thy Loue for loue againe ? Or els for Loue I dye .

My loue is set so suer , And fixed on thee so : That by no meanes I can abstaine , My faythfull loue to showe , My wounded harte theirfore : To thee for helpe doth crye : Extend thy loue for loue againe , Or els for loue I dye . Although the Gods were bent , With greedie mynde to slaye : My corpes with cruell panges of death , And lyfe to take awaye . yet should my faythfull harte , At no tyme from thee flye : Show loue therfore for loue againe , Or els for loue I dye . Although the Sun were bent , To burne me with his beames : and that mine eyes throw greuos pangs , Should send forth bloudy streames . yet would I not for sake , But styll to thee wolude crye : To showe me loue for loue againe , Or els for loue I dye . ye though ech sterre were tournd , Vntyll a fiery darte : And were all ready bent with payne , To perce throwe out my harte . yet coulde I not forsake , To loue thee faythfullye , Extend thy loue for loue againe , Or els for loue I dye .
❧ ye though eche foule were formde , A Serpent fell to be : My corps to slay with bloudy wounds , And to deuower me . yet would I be thine owne , To loue full hartelye : Extend thy loue for loue againe , Or els for loue I dye . ye though the Lyon were , with gapinge gredye Iawe : Readye with rygorus raggye teeth , My fleshe to teare and gnawe , yet woulde I be thine owne , To serue most earnestlye : Extend thy loue , for loue againe , Or els for loue I dye . ye though the fishes all , That swymes in surginge sease : should swallowe me with gredy mouth yet could thee not apease . My earnest harte to thee , To loue entyerlye : Extend thy loue for loue againe , Or els for loue I dye . ye though the earth would gape , And swallowe me there in : And that I should tormentyd be , In hell with euery fyn . yet would I be thy owne , To saue or els to spyll : Show me therfore lyke loue againe Or els thou dost me kyll . Finis . ꝙ M. Osb .
