��'' Leave me not unto a Spaniard, " Thou alone enjoy'st my heart;

'' T am lovely, young, and tender, ' Love is likewise my desert: " Still to serve thee day and night my mind is prest; "' The wife of every English man is counted blest."

' It would be a shame, fair lady, ' For to bear a woman hence ; ' English soldiers never carry ' Any such without offence.' "' I'll quickly change myself, if it be so, " And like a page will follow thee, where'er thou go."

' I have neither gold nor silver

' To maintain thee in this case, ' And to travel is great eharg< , ' As you know in even- place.' "' My chains and jewels every one shall be thy own, '' And eke ten ihousand pounds in gold t lint iie unknown.
