 Your timeles love I mut deny,

and give to you a full rejection,

Altho’ to you confes mut I,

you once had part in my affection:

But now my heart engag’d have I,

to one who courted not o lowly.

Therefore your uit I mut deny,

and all becaue of backward folly.

At hearing this I can’t aver

what orrow then my heart was under

To think my rival Mater R

hould part my love and me aunder

O then too late 1 did reflect

that I was to myelf o cruel.

That e’er o long I did neglect

to ak the love of my dear jewel.

But ince it’s o that I mut be

deprived of my dearet jewel.

I'll wih them both great unity,

may fortune ne'er to them prove cr

Yea, all the pleaures of this life,

nr heart doth wifh to be attending

Both the huband and the wife,

while Hymen’s band they are out
