Be
stedfast to thine owne
As hee is vnto thee,
Regard not men vnknowen
But loue thine owne truly
For oft deceyts are sowen
By them that vnknowen bee
Wherfore cast of the rest:
And thine own loue thou best.
As hee is vnto thee,
Regard not men vnknowen
But loue thine owne truly
For oft deceyts are sowen
By them that vnknowen bee
Wherfore cast of the rest:
And thine own loue thou best.
For though that their false suite
Seeme pleasant in thine eare,
Thou knowst oft times ill fruit
A pleasant tree doth beare.
If thou chaunce to repute
A rotten Apple cleare,
Better to loue thine owne
And forsake men vnknowne.
Seeme pleasant in thine eare,
Thou knowst oft times ill fruit

If thou chaunce to repute
A rotten Apple cleare,
Better to loue thine owne
And forsake men vnknowne.
Thou doost well vnderstand
These wordes not spoken seilde
More suer a birde in hand,
Then twenty in the feild.
Thou knowest thine owne sure band
And how that it hath helde
Then chaunge it for no new:
But loue him that is trew.
These wordes not spoken seilde
More suer a birde in hand,
Then twenty in the feild.
Thou knowest thine owne sure band
And how that it hath helde
Then chaunge it for no new:
But loue him that is trew.
If suters doo thee moue
Or dayly to thee write,
Yet graunt to them no loue
Their paynes for too requite.
But thinke it doth behooue
Thee alwayes to doo right
Thē must thou loue thine own
And forsake men vnknowne.
Or dayly to thee write,
Yet graunt to them no loue
Their paynes for too requite.
But thinke it doth behooue
Thee alwayes to doo right
Thē must thou loue thine own
And forsake men vnknowne.
This counsayle I thee giue
As farforth as I can,
As I that whiles I liue
Wilbee thine onely man.
For sure it would mee greene,
To see thee out of frame
Or chaunge at any time:
Thine owne not to bee thine.
As farforth as I can,
As I that whiles I liue
Wilbee thine onely man.
For sure it would mee greene,
To see thee out of frame
Or chaunge at any time:
Thine owne not to bee thine.
Thus written by thine owne
To thee with all his harte,
Disiringe the vnknowen
Of thee may haue no part.
For if sutch chaunge bee sowen
No doubt thou killest my hart
Wherfore I say beware:
Alwayes the vnknown snare.
To thee with all his harte,
Disiringe the vnknowen
Of thee may haue no part.
For if sutch chaunge bee sowen
No doubt thou killest my hart
Wherfore I say beware:
Alwayes the vnknown snare.
FINIS.
