There is a lady sweet and kind,
Was never face so pleased my mind;
I did but see her passing by,
And yet I love her till I die.
Her gesture, motion and her smiles,<sup>1</sup>
Her wit, her voice, my heart beguile;<sup>2</sup>
Beguile my heart, I know not why,
And yet I love her till I die.
Had I her fast betwixt mine arms,
Judge you that think such sports were harms,
Were't any harm? No, no, fie, fie!
For I will love her till I die.
 
:[Should I remain confinèd there
:So long as Phoebus in his sphere,
:I to request, she to deny,
:Yet would I love her till I die.
 
:Her free behavior, winning looks,
:Will make a lawyer burn his books.
:I touched her not alas not I,
:And yet I'll love her till I die.]<sup>3</sup>
 
Cupid is winged and doth range
Her country so my love doth change;
But change she earth or change she sky,
Yet will I love her till I die.
