[Sweete Kate]

1

Sweete Kate
Of late
Ran away and left me playning.
A bide
I cride
Or I die with thy disdayning.
To hee hee quoth shee
Gladly would I see
Any man to die with louing
Neuer any yet died
Of such a fitte:
Neither haue I feare of prouing:

2

Vnkind,
I find,
Thy delight is in tormenting,
Abide,
I cride,
Or I die with thy consenting.
Te hee hee quoth she,
Make no foole of me,
Men I know haue oathes at pleasure,
But their hopes attaind,
They bewray they faind,
And their oathes are kept at leasure.

Her words
Like swords,
Cut my sorry heart in sunder,
Her floutes,
VVith doubts,
Kept my heart affections vnder.
Te hee hee quoth shee,
What a foole is he,
Stands in awe of once denying,
Cause I had inough,
To become more rough,
So I did, O happy trying.
