[IX. To heare men sing I care not.]

To heare men sing, I care not

To heare men sing, I care not, to heare men sing I care not, by them I feare no leasing, Heare women sing I dare not, their voyces are so pleasing, for she that better singeth, The greater danger bringeth, the greater danger bringeth. For she that better singeth, The greater danger bringeth, the greater danger bringeth.
