[In a season all oppressed]
[1]
In a season all oppressed,With sad sorrowes poore distressed,
Troylous said unto his Cressed
Yeeld O yeeld thee sweet and stay not,
O no no no no no
No no no Sweet Love I may not.

Strife in Love is Loves uniting,These hands were not made for fighting,
But for mutuall hearts delighting,
Yeeld O yeeld then sweet and stay not:
O No No &c.
3
Deare if you will still persever,In this No, which answers never
Doe what I desire you ever.
And againe say No, and spare not.
O No No &c. I dare not.
4
Since nor time nor place nor plaining,Can change this word of disdaining,
What is there for mee remaining,
But to dye, if you gainsay not.
O No No &c. I may not.
