Profer'd Love rejected.
It is not four years ago,
I offered Forty crowns
To lie with her a night or so:
She answer'd me in frowns.
I offered Forty crowns
To lie with her a night or so:
She answer'd me in frowns.
Not two years since, she meeting me
Did whisper in my eare,
That she would at my service be
If I contented were.
Did whisper in my eare,
That she would at my service be
If I contented were.
I told her I was cold as snow
And had no great desire;
But should be well content to go
To Twenty, but no higher.
And had no great desire;
But should be well content to go
To Twenty, but no higher.
Some three moneths since or thereabout,
She that so coy had bin,
Bethought herself and found me out,
And was content to sin.
She that so coy had bin,
Bethought herself and found me out,
And was content to sin.
I smil'd at that, and told her I
Did think it something late,
And that I'de not repentance buy
At above half the rate.
Did think it something late,
And that I'de not repentance buy
At above half the rate.

This present morning early she
Forsooth came to my bed,
And gratis there she offered me
Her high-priz'd maidenhead.
Forsooth came to my bed,
And gratis there she offered me
Her high-priz'd maidenhead.
I told her that I thought it then
Far dearer then I did,
When I at first the Forty crowns
For one nights lodging bid.
Far dearer then I did,
When I at first the Forty crowns
For one nights lodging bid.
