[Sweet Ioe vouchsafe once to impart]
Shepheard:Sweet Ioe vouchsafe once to impart,
did euer liue so coy a lasse,
that vnto loue was neuer moued?
Shephardesse:
Yes Shephard She that has the hart,
and is resolud her life to passe:
neither to loue or be beloued.
He:
She sencelesse liues, without affection.
She:
Yet happie liues, without subiection.
He:
To be pluckt are Roses blowne,
To be mowed are meddowes growne:
Iemmes are made but to be showne,
And woman's best—
She:
To holde her owne.
