[Change thy minde since she doth change]

The Right Honourable Robert: Earle of Essex: Earle Marshall of England.

[1]

Change thy minde since she doth change,
Let not Fancy still abuse thee.
Thy vntruth cannot seeme strange,
When her falshood doth excuse thee.
Loue is dead and thou art free,
She doth liue but dead to thee.

2

Whilst she lou'd thee best a while,
See how she hath still delaid thee.
Vsing shewes for to beguile,
Those vaine hopes that haue deceiu'd thee.
Now thou seest although too late,
Loue loues truth which women hate.

3

Loue no more since she is gone,
Shee is gone and loues another.
Being once deceiu'd by one,
Leaue her loue but loue none other.
She was false bid her adew,
She was best but yet vntrue.

4

Loue farewell more deere to mee
Then my life which thou preseruest.
Life all ioyes are gone from thee,
Others haue what thou deseruest.
Oh my death doth spring from hence
I must dye for her offence.

5

Dye, but yet before thou dye
Make her know what she hath gotten.
She in whom my hopes did lye,
Now is chang'd, I quite forgotten.
She is chang'd, but changed base,
Baser in so vilde a place.
