I ioy to find a constant mind.

Loves martyr | ||
I ioy to find a constant mind.
I am encompast round about with ioy,Ioy to enioy my sweete, for she protesteth
To comfort me that languish in annoy,
Find ease if any sorrow me molesteth,
A happie man that such a loue possesseth:
Constant in words, and alwayes vowes to loue me,
Mind me she will, but yet she dares not proue me.
Loves martyr | ||
