TO LADIE ANNA HAY COVNTES OF Winton, one of the Ladies of her Majesties most royall bed chalmer,
at her return from England.
Ah, whither now sweet Ladie wilt thou go?
From Court to Cuntrie, what new change is this?
And wilt thou needst (sweet Sant) be gone? and so
Bereaue south-Britan of so rare a blis,
Yes thou must go, J see there is no stay,
And take ten thousand Thousand hearts away.

Take then my heart, my better part with thee,
My wishes, vow's, my prayers, all these all:
For J am thine devoted till J die,
And still shall beare the bloodie yock as thrall:
And when my head shall turne to hoarie gray,
The world shall see that I shall serue An Hay.
