[My complayning is but faining]

1

My complayning is but faining,
All my loue is but in iest, fa, la, la,
And my Courting is but sporting
In most shewing meaning, least fa la la

2

Outward sadnesse inward gladnesse,
Representeth in my mind, fa la la,
In most faining most obtaining,
Such good faith in loue I find. fa la la.

3

Towards Ladies this my trade is,
Two minds in one breast I were, fa la la,
And my measure at my pleasure,
Ice and flame my face doth beare. Fa la la.
