The Song which misteris Vrsula sung to her Lute, to Zelauto.
As Loue is cause of ioy,
So Loue procureth care:
As Loue dooth end annoy,
So Loue dooth cause despaire.
But yet I oft heard say,
and wise men like did giue:
That no one at this day,
without a loue can liue.
And thinke you I, will loue defie:
No, no, I loue, vntill I die.
So Loue procureth care:
As Loue dooth end annoy,
So Loue dooth cause despaire.
But yet I oft heard say,
and wise men like did giue:
That no one at this day,
without a loue can liue.
And thinke you I, will loue defie:
No, no, I loue, vntill I die.
Loue knits the sacred knot,
Loue hart and hand dooth binde:
Loue will not shrinke one iot,
but Loue dooth keepe his kinde.
Loue maketh freendes of foes,
loue stayes the common wealth:
Loue dooth exile all woes,
that would impaire our health.
Since loue dooth men and monsters mooue:
VVhat man so fond will loue disprooue?
Loue hart and hand dooth binde:
Loue will not shrinke one iot,
but Loue dooth keepe his kinde.

loue stayes the common wealth:
Loue dooth exile all woes,
that would impaire our health.
Since loue dooth men and monsters mooue:
VVhat man so fond will loue disprooue?
Loue keepes the happy peace,
Loue dooth all strife alay:
Loue sendeth rich increase,
Loue keepeth warres away.
Loue of it selfe is all,
Loue hath no fellowe mate:
Loue causeth me, and shall,
Loue those, that loue my state.
Then loue will I, vntill I dye:
And all fond Loue I will defye.
Loue dooth all strife alay:
Loue sendeth rich increase,
Loue keepeth warres away.
Loue of it selfe is all,
Loue hath no fellowe mate:
Loue causeth me, and shall,
Loue those, that loue my state.
Then loue will I, vntill I dye:
And all fond Loue I will defye.
FINIS.
