<poem>
My love hath vowed hee will forsake me
And I am already sped.
For other promise he did make me
When he had my maidenhead.
If such danger be in playing
And sport must to earnest turn,
I will go no more a-maying.


:My love hath vowed hee will forsake me
Had I foreseen what is ensued,
:And I am already sped.
And what now with pain I prove,
:For other promise he did make me
Unhappy then I had eschewed
:When he had my maidenhead.
This unkind event of love.
:If such danger be in playing
Maids foreknow their own undoing,
:And sport must to earnest turn no more a-maying.
But fear naught till all is done,
 
When a man alone is wooing.
:Had I forseen what is ensued,
:And what now with pain I prove,
:Unhappy then I had eschewed,
:This unkind event of love,
:Maids foreknow their own undoing,
:But fear naught till all is done, alone is wooing
 
:Dissembling wretch to gain thy pleasure,
:What didst thou not vow and swear?
:So didst thou rob me of the treasure,
:Which so long I held so dear.
:Now thou prov’st to me a stranger,
:Such is the vile guise of men, woman in danger.


:That heart is nearest to misfortune,
Dissembling wretch to gain thy pleasure!
:That will trust a feigned tongue,
What didst thou not vow and swear?
:When flatt’ring men our loves importune,
So didst thou rob me of the treasure
:They intend us deepest wrong,
Which so long I held so dear.
:If this shame of loves betraying,
Now thou prov’st to me a stranger,
:But this once I cleanly shun, no more amaying.
Such is the vile guise of men,  
When a woman is in danger.


That heart is nearest to misfortune
That will trust a feigned tongue.
When flatt’ring men our loves importune,
They intend us deepest wrong.
If this shame of loves betraying,
But this once I cleanly shun,
I will go no more amaying.

My love hath vowed hee will forsake me
And I am already sped.
For other promise he did make me
When he had my maidenhead.
If such danger be in playing
And sport must to earnest turn,
I will go no more a-maying.

Had I foreseen what is ensued,
And what now with pain I prove,
Unhappy then I had eschewed
This unkind event of love.
Maids foreknow their own undoing,
But fear naught till all is done,
When a man alone is wooing.

Dissembling wretch to gain thy pleasure!
What didst thou not vow and swear?
So didst thou rob me of the treasure
Which so long I held so dear.
Now thou prov’st to me a stranger,
Such is the vile guise of men,
When a woman is in danger.

That heart is nearest to misfortune
That will trust a feigned tongue.
When flatt’ring men our loves importune,
They intend us deepest wrong.
If this shame of loves betraying,
But this once I cleanly shun,
I will go no more amaying.
