CANT. XXII.
AVISA.
I told you first what you should find,
Although you thought I did but iest,
And selfe affection made you blind,
To seeke the thing, I most detest;
Besides his host, who takes the paine,
To recken first, must count againe.
Although you thought I did but iest,
And selfe affection made you blind,
To seeke the thing, I most detest;
Besides his host, who takes the paine,
To recken first, must count againe.
Your rash swore oth you must repent,
You must beware of headlong vowes;
Excepting him, whome free consent,
By wedlocke words, hath made my spouse,
From others yet I am as free,
As they this night, that boren bee.
You must beware of headlong vowes;
Excepting him, whome free consent,
By wedlocke words, hath made my spouse,
From others yet I am as free,
As they this night, that boren bee.
VVell giue me then a cup of wine,
As thou art his, would thou were mine.
AVISA.
Haue t'ye good-lucke, tell them that gaue
You this aduice, what speede you haue.
Farewell.
