[XII.]

[Shall a frowne or angrie eye]

1

Shall a frowne or angrie eye,
Shall a word vnfitly placed?
Shall a shadow make me flie,
As I were with Tygers chaced?
Loue must not be so disgraced.

2

Shall I woe her in dispight?
Shall I turne her from her flying?
Shall I tempt her with delight,
Shall I laugh out her denying?
Noe, beware of louers crying.

3

Shall I then with patient mind,
Still attend her wayward pleasure,
Time will make her proue more kind,
Let her coynesse then take leasure,
Paines are worthy such a treasure.
