[At her faire hands, how haue I grace intreated]

At her faire hands, how haue I grace intreated,
With prayers oft repeated,
Yet stil my loue is thwarted,
Heart let her goe, let her goe, let her goe, for shee'le not be conuerted,
Say shall she goe,
O no, no, no, no,
She is most faire though she be marble hearted.

How often haue my sighes declar'd mine anguish,
Wherein I daily languish?
Yet doth she still procure it,
Harke, let her goe for I cannot endure it:
Say, shall she goe,
Oh no, no, no, no,
She gaue the wound, and she alone must cure it.
