[If my Lady bid beginne]

If my Lady bid beginne

If my Lady bid beginne, Shall I say No 'tis a sinne? If shee bidd mee Kisse and play, Shall I shrinke? Cold Foole away. If Shee clap my Cheekes and spye little Cupids in my eye gripe my hand and

Stroake my haire, shall I like a faint heart feare. No, no, no, let those that Lye in dismall dungeons and would dye, dispaire and feare, Let those that Cry they are forsaken and would flye, quit their fortunes mine Are free, Hope makes mee Hardy, so does Shee.
