[When frō my loue I lookte for loue and kind affections due]

When frō my loue I lookte for loue and kind affections due,
To wel I foūd her vowes to proue most faithles and vntrue
For when I did aske her why
Most sharpely she did reply
That shee with mee did neere agree
To loue but iestingly.
Marke but the subtle policies that female louers finde,
VVho loues to fixe their constācies, like fethers in the wind
Though they sweare, vow and protest,
That they loue you chiefly best,
Yet by and by theyle all denie,
And say twas but in iest.
