〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉  
To an Excellent new sweet Tune, 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 where Helen lies.  

MY sweetest sweet and fairest fair,  
of birth and worth beyond compare  
Thou art the causer of my care  
since first I loved thee:  
I would I were where H●len lies.  
where Helen lies, where Helen lies,  
For night and day on me she cries,  
in land where ever she be.   

Thy face is full of blessedness,  
thy lips is full of comeliness,  
Thou cou●tenance is loveliness:  
〈◊〉 heart O I pity me;  
I ●ould I were, &c.   

pity and virtue they do meet.  
which makes thy body so complete,  
The love of thee my only sweet  
can only comfort me.  
I would I were, &c.   

Yet GOD hath given to me a mind,  
the which to thee shall prove as kind,  
A● any one that thou shall find,  
of high or low degree.  
I would I were, &c.   

Yet nevertheless I am content,  
and never a whit my love repent,  
But think the time it was well spent  
though I disdained be.  
I would I wrere, &c.   

Yet Venus loved a shepherd's swain,  
whose name is called Ordemain,  
And Rosmount an inferior man,  
why may not thou love me?  
I would I were &c.   

〈◊〉 contemplation be to me,  
the height of my felicity?  
That I adore a deity,  
can no ways passed be?  
would I were &c.   

Shall I continue still to love,  
whom neither tears nor sighs can move:  
●uch constancy will fully prove  
no truth but flattery  
would I were, &c.   

the shaldest river makes most dine,  
●the deepest pool, the deadest lin-  
●…be richest man lest truth within,  
though he preferred be,  
would I were, &c.   

The Eagle and the Cock a match,  
cannot stop the butterfly to catch,  
●or can the Hare feed with the Ratch,  
no more canst thou love me.  
would I were &c.   

●ur here I swear I'll be as true  
as any one shall favour you  
the love I love I'll never rue  
Until the day I die.  
would I were, &c.   

〈◊〉 heart with thee thou hast in 〈◊〉  
with thee to live and also die  
love thee for thy constanc●  
and evermore shall do,  
would I were, &c.   

●o accident can have the f●●…  
to change my love or yet 〈◊〉 〈◊〉  
●or can the world with its dross,  
●●inner my love from you.  
would I were, &c.   

O Helen fa●…, without compare  
let not 〈◊〉 despair, nor killing care,  
My purebe●●…t tear but one word ma●●e,  
and 〈◊〉 thou pities me.  
I would I were, &c.   

O Helen ●●…eet and ●ost complete,  
my capt●●… sp●rit pine at thy feet,  
O think no● fit thus for to treat,  
thy prisoner with cruelty.  
I would I were, &c.   

O Helen br●ve this still I crave,  
on thy poor slave some pity have  
O do him save who a near his grave,  
and dies for love of thee,  
I would I were &c.   

O Helen bed discreet, modest,  
who is possessed with 〈◊〉 is blessed;  
With happiness thou art ●…rest,  
Oh if I ●er with 〈◊〉.  
I would I were &c.   

O Helen wise do not despise  
the humb●● cries of him who dies,  
Look where he lies and bid him rise,  
and live and hope for thee.  
I would I were &c.   

O Helen great in my conceit,  
my ridged fate I must regra  
Rigour abate, do not him hate;  
who loves thee till he die.  
I would I were, &c.   

O Helen 〈◊〉 my love my joy,  
 
 
〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 thee.  
I would I 〈◊〉, &c.   

O He●●● 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 my wounds bleed fast  
my 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉, and makes haste great,  
Thou 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 ●ast when time is past,  
repent thy cruelty  
I would I were, &c.   

O Helen fai● 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 Hele 〈…〉 et,  
O Helen 〈◊〉, O Helen best,  
O Helen wiser, O Helen great,  
O Helen coy and 〈◊〉.  
I would I were, &c.   

Think on the place wer●  
Embracing of my love 〈◊〉  
At Venus 〈◊〉 hath 〈◊〉 〈◊〉  
but now I 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉  
I would I were, &c.   

O Helen rare O Helen fair,  
I'll wear a Garland of thy hair,  
Shall cover 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉  
Until the day I die.  
I would I were, &c.   

O that I were where I would be,  
e●en 〈◊〉 beneath you 〈◊〉 mood 〈◊〉,  
And my own ●eary on my 〈◊〉  
so well as 〈◊〉 thoued 〈◊〉  
I would I were where Helen lies  
〈◊〉 〈◊〉 Helen lies, where Helen lies  
〈◊〉 〈◊〉 and day on m● she cries
