Chap. VI.

[So meane perhaps, but Time brings alteration]

So meane perhaps, but Time brings alteration,
And a faire woman is a shrewd Temptation.

[Were I disdainfull or vnkind]

Were I disdainfull or vnkind,
Or coy to learne, or dull of mind.
But no such thing remaines in me
To let mee learne my A. B. C.

[Which shall I doe? or weepe, or sing?]

Which shall I doe? or weepe, or sing?
Neither of them will helpe mourning.
The Treasure's stolne, the Thiefe is fled,
And I lye bleeding in my bed.
