[Why so coy and nice dear Lady]
Why so coy and nice dear Lady,
Pray you, why so nice?
You long to make your Lord a Daddy,
Is kissing then a vice,
pray you, why so nice
Pray you, why so nice?
You long to make your Lord a Daddy,
Is kissing then a vice,
pray you, why so nice
Why those Pearles fetcht from the Ocean
And those Gems of price?
You know we men have heat and motion.
These must needs entice
maugre all advice.
And those Gems of price?
You know we men have heat and motion.
These must needs entice
maugre all advice.
Why this Tyre with care contorted,
Why this Silk-worms toile,
And why these haires curiously sorted
Bedew'd with sacred Oyle
save our bloods to boyle?
Why this Silk-worms toile,
And why these haires curiously sorted
Bedew'd with sacred Oyle
save our bloods to boyle?
If Resolution arme your heart
'Tis horrid Tyranny,
For to transluce us with Loves Dart
And yet no cure apply
you are our mallady.
'Tis horrid Tyranny,
For to transluce us with Loves Dart
And yet no cure apply
you are our mallady.
