MY pretty little Rogue do but come hither , With thee I 'le not collogue , if thou 'lt consider , The paines for thee I 've took , Cupid so wounded me , But now I 'me in the Brook , if thou dost not love me . I 'le forsake all my Kin , Father and Mother I value not a Pin , or any other , 'T is only thy sweet face , the which doth move me . And I think thou hast some grace , and thou 'lt love me . Riches I 'le promise none , nor no great Treasure , Because I 'le do no wrong , to thee my Pleasure ; But all that e're I have thou shalt command it , And I 'le maintain thee brave , thou 'st understand it , My Word nor yet my Oath shall not be broken , Then take this suggared kiss in sign of Loves Token . My heart is firm and true , then let pity move thee , I l'e not seek for a new , if thou 'lt but love me . The Maid . GOod Sir I thank you fine for what is spoken , But all 's non gold that shines , and as for your token , I shall not it receive , though you do prove me , My joy thou 'lt nere bereave , for I cannot love thee . Young men can swear and lie , but who will believe them . All goodness they defie , and it nere grieves them . Only to tempt a Maid by their delusion , Therefore I am afraid 't will breed confusion . A Maid had need beware that doth mean honest , Lest she fall in a snare , when they do promise ; For they 'le vow and sware they 'le never leave you , But when they know your mind , then they 'le deceive you . Therefore I will be wise , lest I be taken , In a fools Paradice , and then be forsaken , I 'le put no trust in man to one nor other , Let them do what they can , if 't were my brother . The Man . My Dear you do but jest , I may boldly speak it , Of all I love thee best , prithee so take it , There is no flesh alive , ever shall move me ; If thou wilt be my wife , I 'le dearly love thee . Servants on thee shall tend , and come at thy pleasure , For I will be thy friend , to bring thee Treasure . What canst thee wish for more ? then do but prove me , And thou shalt plainly find how dear I love thee . For means thou shalt not want , If I do gain thee . I have good house and land , for to maintain thee . I have good Sheep i' th field , and Beasts that's proving . All is at thy command , if thou 'lt be loving . I 'le give thee gold my Dear , I 'le give thee Mony , Then thou needs not to fear , I 'le be thy honey . No Lady in the Land , ever shall move me , Thou 'lt have my heart and hand , if thou l't but love me . The Maid . Your words are very fair , I much commend you , Seeing you are so rare , thus I 'le befriend you . Though at first I was coy , 't was but to prove thee , Yet now I 'le be thy joy , and dearly love thee , The Young man hearing this , by the hand took her , The bargain seal'd with a kiss , he nere forsook her , But strait to Church they went , things were so carried , He gave his Love content , when they was married . Thus all young Maids may find , young man are honest , If they bear the like mind , true to their promise . But if they falsifie , who can believe them , And when they have lost their Loves , then it doth grieve them .
