[IIII. False Loue now shoote & spare not]

False Loue now shoote & spare not

False Loue now shoote & spare not, false Loue, false Loue now do thy worst I care not, and to dispatch me, vse all thine art & all thy craft to catch me, and all thy craft to catch me, for youth amisse bestow'd, I now repent me, and for my faults I languish, which brought me nothing else but griefe & anguish, & now at last haue vowed, at libertie to liue, since to assayle me, both thy bowe & thy brand nought doth auayle thee, for from thee good nor ill, comfort nor sorow, comfort nor sorow, I will not hope nor feare now nor tomorow, I will not hope nor feare, now nor tomorow.
