The Courtier.

Be not afraidThou rarest
34
That ever was Maid,
Deny me not a kiss,
No man shall see
The measure
Of pleasure
That I have from thee,
What hurt is there in this?
Then let's embrace, let all pleasures be free,
The world shall ne're have knowledge
How delightful we be.
The world shall ne're have knowledge
How delightful we be.

I know that spyesBoth creeping and peeping
In each corner lyes
To hinder all our joy;
Cupid shall see,
And finde 'em to blinde 'em
That hinderance be
To the getting of a boy.
Then let's embrace, &c.

Venus invites,Fair Creature, Dame Nature
Made you for delights,
But yet to none but I;
Then I'le embrace,
And rifle a trifle,
Leave a jewel i'th' place,
You'l keep until you dye.
Then let's embrace, &c.
