Lady that hand of plenty

Lady that hand of plenty, lady that hand of plenty, that gaue vnto the needefull, did steale my hart vnheedefull, sweet thefe of Loue so dainty, sweet thefe of Loue so dainty, that robbe when you are geuing, are geuing, but you do giue, so surely, that you may robbe and steale, the more securely, that my poore hart be eased, you do it not to Ioye me, but still by fresh assaults quite to destroy me, quite to destroy me, but still by fresh assaults quite to destroye me.
