The sonne hath twise brought furth
 
The soote season
 
When youth had led me
 
Svche waiward waies hath loue
 
When somer toke in hand
 
Loue, that liueth, and reigneth
 
In Ciprus, springes
 
From Tuskane
 
Brittle beautie
 
Alas so all thinges nowe
 
When Windsor walles susteyned
 
Set me wheras the sunne
 
I neuer sawe my Ladye
 
The golden gift
 
So cruell prison
 
When ragyng loue
 
O happy dames
 
In winters iust returne
 
Good Ladies
 
Geue place ye louers
 
Although I had a check
 
To dearely had I bought
 
O lothsome place where I
 
As oft as I behold and se
 
Though I regarded not
 
Wrapt in my carelesse cloke
 
Martiall, the thinges
 
Of thy lyfe, Thomas
 
The great Macedon
 
Dyuers thy death

Layd in my quiet bed

Yet was I neuer

Ye that in loue finde luck
 
If waker care
 
Cesar, when that the
 
Eche man me telth
 
Some fowles there be
 
Because I still kept thee
 
I find no peace
 
My galley charged
 
Avisyng the bright beames
 
They flee from me
 
Madame, withouten many wordes
 
Alas, Madame
 
The wandring gadling
 
What nedes these threatnyng woordes
 
Right true it is
 
It may be good
 
Resownde my voyce ye woodes
 
In fayth I wot not what to say
 
Farewell the hart of crueltie
 
The restfull place
 
From these hie hilles
 
Myne olde dere enmy
 
Maruell no more altho
 
Where shall I haue
 
She sat, and sowed
 
What man hath hard such cruelty
 
Behold, Loue, thy power
 
What vaileth troth?
 
Somtime I fled the fire
 
He is not dead
 
The furious goonne
 
Accused though I be
 
My loue to skorne
 
Within my brest
 
Passe forth my wonted cryes
 
Your lokes so often cast
 
Disdaine me not without desert
 
For want of will
 
If euer man might him auaunt
 
Some men would thinke of right
 
The answere that ye made
 
Svch is the course
 
The enmy of life
 
Once as me thought
 
My lute awake
 
Nature that gaue the Bee
 
Vnwarely so was neuer
 
Al in thy loke my life
 
Perdy I sayd it not
 
Lvx, my faire fawlcon
 
A face that should content
 
Ever my hap is slack
 
Loue, Fortune, and my minde
 
How oft haue I
 
Lyke vnto these
 
If amourous fayth
 
Farewell, Loue
 
My hart I gaue thee
 
The flaming sighes
 
The piller perisht
 
Go burning sighes
 
So feble is the threde
 
Svffised not (madame)
 
When first mine eyes
 
Synce loue wyll nedes
 
Mystrustfull mindes be moued
 
It burneth yet
 
Of purpose, loue chose first
 
What rage is this?
 
Desire (alas) my master
 
I see, that chance
 
For shamefast harm of great
 
Vvlcane begat me
 
Syghes are my foode
 
Through out the world
 
Stond who so list
 
In court to serue
 
Of Carthage he
 
Tagus farewel
 
Driuen by desire
 
In doubtfull breast
 
My mothers maides
 
Myne owne Iohn Poyns
 
A spendyng hand

As I haue bene

To his loue of his constant hart.

As I haue bene so will I euer be,
Vnto my death and lenger yf I might.
Haue I of loue the frendly lokyng eye,
Haue I of fortune the fauour or the spite,
I am of rock by proofe as you may see:
Not made of waxe nor of no metall light,
As leefe to dye, by chaunge as to deceaue,
Or breake the promise made. And so I leaue.
