Yong & simple though I am,
I have heard of Cupids name,
Guess I can what thing it is,
Men desire when they do kisse,
Smoke can never burn they say,
But the flames that follow may.

I am not so fond, so fair,
To be proud, or to dispair;
Yet my lips have oft observ'd,
Men that kisse them presse too hard,
As glad Lovers use to doe,
When their new met Loves they wooe.

Faith 'tis but a foolish minde,
Yet me thinkes a heat I finde,
And thirsty longing that doth bide
Ever on the weaker side:
O I feele my heart doth move,
Venus grant it be not love.

If it be alasse, what then,
Were not women made for men?
As good it were a thing were past,
That must needs be done at last:
Roses that are overblowne,
Grow lesse sweet, and fall alone.

Yet no Churle or silken Gull
Shall my Virgin Blossom pull,
Who shall not, I soone can tell,
Who shall, would I could as well;
Yet I'm sure what ere he be,
Love he must, or flatter me.
