WIll you here a Spanish Lady , how she woo'd an English man , Garments gay as rich as may be , deckt with Iewels had she on , Of a fair and comly countenance and grace was she . And by birth and Parentage , of high degree . As his prisoner there he kept her , in his hands her life did lie Cupids hands did tye her faster by the liking of an eye . In his courteous company , was all her joy To favour him in any thing , she was not coy . But at last there came commandment for to set all Ladies frée , With their Iewels still adorned , none to do them injury . O then said the Lady gay , full wo is me , O let me still sustain this kind Captivity . Galiant Captain take some pity on a woman in distresse , Leave me not within this City for to dye in heavinesse . Thou hast set this present day my body free , But my hear'ts in prison still remain with thée , How shouldst thou fair Lady lovo me whom thou knowst thy Countries foe Thy fair word makes me suspect thée , Serpents lie where flowers grow , All the harm I think on thee , most courteous Knigh● God grant upon my life the same may fully light . Blessed be the time and season , that you came on Spanish ground , If you may our foes be termed , gentle Foes we have you found , With our City you have won our hearts each one . Then to your Country hear away , that is your own , The second Part. To the same tune . R ●span1● more , 〈…〉 there 〈◊〉 plenty , 〈…〉 wondrous store . Spaniards 〈…〉 with 〈◊〉 we 〈◊〉 find , But English men throughout the world , are counted kind , Leave me not unto a Spaniard , thou alone enjoy'd my heart I am lovely young and tender , love is likewise my desert , Still to serve thee day and night , my mind is pre●● , The wi●e of every English man , is counted blest . It would be a shame fair Lady , for to bear a woman hence English Souldiers never carry any such without offence , I will quickly change my self , if it be so , And like a page will follow thée where are thou go . I have neither gold nor silver , to maintain thee in this case , And to travel to great charges as you know in every place , My chains and jewels every one , shall be thine own . And eke a hundred pound in gold , that lies unknown . On the Seas are many dangers , many storms do there arise , Which will be to Ladies dreadful , and force tears from watry eye● , Well in worth shall I endure extremity . For I could find in heart to lose my life for thée . 〈…〉 this fancy here comes all that breeds the str●●s I in England have already , a sweet woman to my wife . I will not falsife my vow for gold nor gain , Nor yet for all the fairest Dames that live in Spain . O happy is that woman that enjoys so true a friend , Many happy dayes God send h●● of my suit I le make an end , On my knées I pardon cra●e for my offence , Which love and true affection did first commence . Commend me to that gallant Lady bear to her this chain of gold , With these bracelets for a token , grieving that I was so bold , All my jewels in like sort take thou with thée , For they are fitting for thy wife but not for me . I will spend my days in prayer , love and all her Laws de●●e , In a Nunnery will I shrow'd me far from any company , But ere my Prayer have all end be sure of this , I pray for thée and for my love I will not misse . Thus farewell most gallant Lady . and farewell my hearts content Count not Spanish Ladies want of though to thée my mind was bent Ioy and true prosperity remain with thée , The like fall unto thy share , most fair La●y . Printed for F. Coles , T. Vere , and W. ilbertson .
