Song. |
||
I. |
||
| Tell me not (Sweet) I am unkinde, | ||
| That from the Nunnerie | ||
| Of thy chaste breast, and quiet mind, | ||
| To Warre and Armes I flie. | ||
II. |
||
| 5 | True; a new Mistresse now I chase, | |
| The first Foe in the Field; | ||
| And with a stronger Faith embrace | ||
| A Sword, a Horse, a Shield. | ||
III. |
||
| Yet this Inconstancy is such, | ||
| 10 | As you too shall adore; | |
| I could not love thee (Deare) so much, | ||
| Lov’d I not Honour more. |
