Love Crowned with Victory.  
A merry Dialogue betwixt an old rich Country Bachelor, and a young witty London Virgin.  
With Allowance.  
To the tune, I'll crown thee my dearest &c. Digbies Farewell, Or Packintons' Pound.  
 


MY Dear canst thou love me, I pray tell me true,  
For if thou deni'st me i'll bid England adieu  
I'll Sail the wide Ocean abroad will I range  
The Sea is my portion unless my mind change:  
And travel abroad as long as I live  
And never more love to thy sex will I give   

Then be not so coy but answer my flame  
Then i'll Crown thee my dearest, and i'll be thy Swain.   

I'll make thee a jointure to thy own content  
That afterwards thou mayst never repent  
if thou wilt to me prove constant and kind,  
in requital for ever my love thou shalt find,  
For gold and for silver thou shalt have good store  
Which will make thee a Lady what wouldst thou have more:   

Then be not so coy, but answer my flame  
Then i'll crown thee my dearest and i'll be thy Swain.   

Besides thou shalt have to thy hearts desire,  
Coach-horses and Footmen in noble attire  
And abroad ride in state, thy pleasure to take  
So that thou wilt of me a Husband but make  
Then i'll cherish my dearest in bed and at board  
And thou shalt have all this world can afford:   

then be not so coy but answer my flame  
then i'll crown thee my dearest and i'll be thy Swain.   

For Rings and jewels thou shalt have of the best  
in Silk and Satin thou shalt neatly be dressed  
And a waiting Gentlewoman thou shalt have  
Which always shall follow thee gallant and brave  
And a Gentleman Usher with his hat in his hand  
For to wait upon thee when thou shalt command.   

then be not so coy, but answer my flame  
then etc.    

The second part  
to the same tune.  

And in the morning when thou dost rise  
Thou shalt have the best Cordial to clear thy eyes  
And in twining our arms we'll embrace each other  
But the world shall not know, for our joys we will smother  
Then give me a kiss and sealed with thy love  
And i'll prove true to thee as the Turtle Dove:   

then be not so coy but answer my flame  
then i'll crown thee etc.   

If thou wilt prove constant I vow to perform,  
The promise I make thee or else I am forsworn,  
Answer but my suit, and yield to be mine,  
Then I will reply with my heart I am thine,  
So our love will be equal & happy are we,  
If we join heart and hands we shall ever agree,   

then be not so coy, but answer my flame.  
then i'll crown thee, &c,   

The Maids witty Answer.  
I must confess that you promise fare,  
But to find a true lover it is very rare,  
For your sex are so given to dissemble and cheat,  
And draw in young maidens that's loving & weak,  
If I were but certain your love it were true,  
I would forsake all the world and my love give to you,   

but that I will not give, till I further try,  
till I see your love constant I shall ever deny.   

The jointer you promise to make over to me,  
Before that be acted we ne'er shall agree,  
And if you would have me prove constant and kind,  
You must make me a jointer pleasing to my mind,  
You say you have gold and silver good store,  
Which will make me happy, then i'll ask no more,   

if you can but give me what I shall desire,  
then i'll answer your flames, with equal fire,   

A gentlewoman you say I shall have,  
Which shall wait upon me most gallant and brave,  
All this you have promised I ne'er look to see,  
Until that I find you prove constant to me,  
Perform what you promised with all your heart,  
I promise again that we'll never part,   

so that you will give me what I shall desire,  
then i'll answer your flames, etc.   

A Gentleman usher with his hat in his hand,  
You promise shall wait upon me at command,  
All this is worth nothing if you fail in the main  
You destroy a poor virgin and your own honour strain,  
Though my face it is comely my parts are but small,  
If you like take the person and portion and all,   

so that you will give me what I shall desire,  
than your flames I will answer, etc.   

My parent's consent I would willingly have,  
Because they are aged and going to the grave,  
I would have you to go and ask their good will,  
That our loves may continue and keep constant still,  
For if I should marry you, and they not know  
Their curse would fall on me with much shame & woe   

so if you will give me what I shall desire,  
then i'll &c.   

Coach-horses and Footmen in Livery brave  
A Page holding my train I always shall have  
So that a husband of you I will make  
But two words to a bargain before I you take.  
For your bed & your board I shall not accept  
Without all your promises be truly kept   

then when you have given me what I desire  
i'll be sure to answer your flames with fire.   

Likewise you promise me jewels and Rings  
Sattings and silks and many fine things,  
I hope I shall see them before i'm your wife,  
That afterward we may live without strife.  
And if you deceive me i' me quite undone,  
You'll curse your misfortune and away I must run.   

then when you have given me what I desire,  
I'll not fail to answer your flames with fire.   

If you will perform what you do say  
i'll be sure to be constant by night and by day  
But if you prove false, i'll never love man  
But him I must love let me do what I can,  
For a Virgin's heart & her tongue goes together  
And he that deceives her is sure to thrive never.   

So now you have answered what I desire  
I'll answer your flames again with equal fire.
