[Wellcome, wellcome, doe I sing]
Wellcome, wellcome, doe I sing,
Far more wellcome yn ye spring;
He that parteth from you neuer,
Shall enioy a spring for euer.
Far more wellcome yn ye spring;
He that parteth from you neuer,
Shall enioy a spring for euer.
Love, that to ye voice is nere
Breaking from your Iu'ry pale,
Need not walke abroad to heare
The delightfull Nightingale.

Need not walke abroad to heare

Wellcome, wllc ome, then I sing,
Far more welcome yn ye spring;
He that parteth from you neuer,
Shall enioy a spring for euer.
Far more welcome yn ye spring;

Love, that lookes still on your eyes,
Though ye winter haue begun
To benumbe our Arteryes,
Shall not want the Summers Sun.
Wellcome, wellcome, yn I sing, &c.

Love that still may see your cheekes,
Where all rarenes still reposes,
Is a foole, if ere he seekes
Other Lillyes, other roses.

Love, to whom your soft lips yeelds,
And perceiues your breath in kissing,
All the Odours of the fields
Neuer, neuer shall be missing.

Love that question would anew
What faire Eden was of old,
Let him rightly study you,
And a briefe of that behold.
Welcome, welcome, yn I, &c.
