I.
[Though your strangenes frets my heart]
1
Though your strangenes frets my heart,Yet must I not complaine,
You perswade me tis but Art
Which secret loue must faine,
If another you affect,
Tis but a toy to auoide suspect,
Is this faire excusing,
O no all is abusing.
2
When your wisht sight I desire,Suspition you pretend,
Causlesse you your selfe retire,
Whilst I in vaine attend,
Thus a louer as you say,
Still made more eager by delay,
Is his faire excusing.
O no, all is abusing.
3
When another holds your hand,Youle sweare I hold your heart,
Whilst my riuall close doth stand,
And I sit farre apart,
I am neerer yet then they,
Hid in your bosome as you say,
Is this faire excusing,
O no all is abusing.
4
Would a riuall then I were,Some else your secret friend,
So much lesser should I feare,
And not so much attend,
They enioy you euery one,
Yet must I seeme your friend alone,
Is this faire excusing,
O no all is abusing.
