Louers
learne to speake but truth,
Sweare not, and your oathes forgoe,
Giue your age a constant youth,
Vow no more then what you'le doe.
Sweare not, and your oathes forgoe,
Giue your age a constant youth,
Vow no more then what you'le doe.
Thinke it sacriledge to breake
What you promise, shall in loue
And in teares what you doe speake
Forget not, when the ends you proue.
What you promise, shall in loue
And in teares what you doe speake
Forget not, when the ends you proue.
Doe not thinke it glory is
To entice, and then deceiue,
Your chiefe honors lye in this,
By worth what wonne is, not to leaue.
To entice, and then deceiue,
Your chiefe honors lye in this,
By worth what wonne is, not to leaue.
'Tis not for your fame to try,
What we weake, not oft refuse,
In our bounty our faults lye,
When you to doe a fault will chuse.

Fye leaue this, a greater gaine,
tis to keepe when you haue won,
Then what purchas'd is with paine,
Soone after in all scorne to shun.
tis to keepe when you haue won,
Then what purchas'd is with paine,
Soone after in all scorne to shun.
For if worthlesse to be priz'd,
Why at first will you it moue?
And if worthy, why dispis'd?
You cannot sweare, and lie, and loue.
Why at first will you it moue?
And if worthy, why dispis'd?
You cannot sweare, and lie, and loue.
Loue alasse you cannot like,
Tis but for a fashion mou'd,
None can chuse, and then dislike,
Vnlesse it be by fashood prou'd.
Tis but for a fashion mou'd,
None can chuse, and then dislike,
Vnlesse it be by fashood prou'd.
But your choyce is, and your loue.
How most number to deceiue,
As if honors claime did moue
Like Popish Law, none safe to leaue.
How most number to deceiue,
As if honors claime did moue
Like Popish Law, none safe to leaue.
Flye this folly, and returne
Vnto truth in Loue, and try,
None but Martir's happy burne,
More shamefull ends they haue that lye.
