[Can a Mayde that is well bred]
Can a Mayde that is well bred,
Hath a blush so louely red,
Modest lookes, wise, milde, discreet,
And a nature passing sweet,
Breake her promise, vntrue proue,
On a sodaine change her loue,
Or be wonne ere to neglect,
Him to whom she vow'd respect?
Hath a blush so louely red,
Modest lookes, wise, milde, discreet,
And a nature passing sweet,
Breake her promise, vntrue proue,
On a sodaine change her loue,
Or be wonne ere to neglect,
Him to whom she vow'd respect?

Such a Maide alas I know,
Oh that weedes mongst Corne should grow:
Or a Rose should prickles haue,
Wounding where she ought to saue.
Oh that weedes mongst Corne should grow:
Or a Rose should prickles haue,
Wounding where she ought to saue.
I that did her parts extoll,
Will my lauish tongue controll:
Outward parts doe blinde the eyes,
Gall in golden pills oft lyes.
Will my lauish tongue controll:
Outward parts doe blinde the eyes,
Gall in golden pills oft lyes.
Reason, wake and sleepe no more,
Land vpon some safer shoare:
Thinke on her and be afraide,
Of a faithlesse fickle Maide.
Land vpon some safer shoare:
Thinke on her and be afraide,
Of a faithlesse fickle Maide.
Of a faithlesse fickle Maide,
Thus true loue is still betraide:
Yet it is some ease to sing,
That a Maide is light of wing.
Thus true loue is still betraide:
Yet it is some ease to sing,
That a Maide is light of wing.
