They loved lofty full, and no wronger than truly, In the time of the year In the time of the year comes twixt May and July. Quoth he, "Most lovely maid, my troth shall ay endure, And be not thou afraid, but rest thee still secure. That I will love thee long as life in me shall last: Now I am strong and young Now I am strong and young and when my youth is past. "When I am gray and old, and then must stoop to age, I'll love thee twenty-fold, my troth I here engage. She listen'd to his song, and heard it with a smile, And innocent as young And innocent as young, she dreamed not of guile. No guile was meant by Will, for he was true as steel, As was there naught deceit when she made him a will. Full soon both two were wed, and these most faithful lovers Base are but born and bred Base are but born and bred, example to all others. All in a garden green, two lovers sat at ease, As they could scarce be seen among the leafy trees. .

Shall I call her good when she proves unkind? Are those clear fires which vanish into smoke? Must I praise the leaves where no fruit I find? No no: where shadows do for bodies stand, Thou may'st be abus'd if thy sight be dim. Cold love is like to words written on sand, Or to bubbles which on the water swim. Wilt thou be thus abused still, Seeing that she will right thee never? If thou canst not o'ercome her will The love will be thus fruitless ever. Wilt thou be thus abused still, Seeing that she will right thee never? If thou canst not o'ercome her will The love will be thus fruitless ever. Was I so base, that I might not aspire Unto those high joys which she holds from me? As they are high , so high is my desire: If she this deny, what can granted be? If she will yeld to that which reason is, It is Reason's will that Love should be just. Dear make me happy still be granting this, Or cut off delays if that die I must. Better a thousand times to die, Than for to live thus still tormented: Dear, but remember it was I Who for thy sake did die contended. Better a thousand times to die, Than for to live thus still tormented: Dear, but remember it was I Who for thy sake did die contended. .

To see, to hear, to touch, to kiss, to die With thee again in sweetest sympathy. Come again, That I may cease to mourn Thro' thy unkind disdain; For now, left and forlorn, I sit, I sigh, I weep, I faint, I die In deadly pain and endless misery. I sit, I sigh, I weep, I faint, I die In deadly pain and endless misery. All the day The sun that lends me shine, By frowns do cause me pine. And feeds me with delay, Her smiles my springs, that makes my joy to grow, Her frowns the Winters of my woe. Her smiles my springs, that makes my joy to grow, Her frowns the Winters of my woe. All the night My sleeps are full of dreams, My eyes are full of streams. My heart takes no delight, To see the fruits and joys that some do find, And mark the storms are me assign'd. To see the fruits and joys that some do find, And mark the storms are me assign'd. But alas, My faith is ever true, Yet will she never rue, Nor yield me any grace: Her eyes of fire, her heart of flint is made, Whom tears, nor truth may once invade. Her eyes of fire, her heart of flint is made, Whom tears, nor truth may once invade. .
