DO you mean to overthrow me? | |
| Out, alas! I am betrayed! | |
| What! is this the love you show me? | |
| To undo a silly Maid. | |
| Alas! I die! my heart doth break! | 5 |
| I dare not cry, I cannot speak! | |
| What! all alone? nay then I find | |
| Men are too strong for women kind. | |
| |
| Out upon the maid that put me | |
| In this room to be alone! | 10 |
| Yet she was no fool to shut me | |
| Where I should be seen of None. | |
| Hark! Hark! alack! what Noise is that? | |
| O, now I see it is the Cat. | |
| Come gentle puss, thou wilt not tell; | 15 |
| If all do so thou shalt not tell. | |
| |
| Silly fool! why doubts thou telling | |
| Where thou didst not doubt to trust? | |
| If thy belly fall a swelling, | |
| There’s no help, but out it must. | 20 |
| Alas the spite! alas the shame! | |
| For then I quite loose my good name; | |
| But yet the worst of Maids disgraced, | |
| I am not first nor shall be last. | |
| |
| Once again to try your forces, | 25 |
| Thus I dare thee to the field; | |
| Time is lost that time divorces | |
| From the pleasures love doth yield. | |
| Ah ha! fye, fye! it comes yet still! | |
| It comes, I, I! do what you will! | 30 |
| My breath doth pass, my blood doth trickle? | |
| Was ever lass in such a pickle? | |
