The Answer
GRieve not my Dear, nor say I’m untrue
’Cause I abscond mysel from You
It was only Your Love to try
And for to prove Your Constancy.
Some of your Sex I know are Unkind
When that a Maid to Lev’s inclin’d
When that they’ve gain’d them the'll be gone
Straitway and leave them most forlorn.
But for my Part I will be true
And always will be true to You
Then cease to mourn my dearest dear
I will be constant never fear.
No more I’ll grieve thy tender heart
No more from you I’ll evei part
But live in Love until we die
And teach the World, more Constancy:
