The Willow Green turned Into White; Or, the young Man's Joy and the Maid's delight.  
Being the Maids kind and Loving Answer, to the distressed Lovers Complaint.  

Wherein she plainly shows in every part,  
How he is the Man that doth enjoy her heart,  
Though first she seemed disloyal for to prove  
Was only but to try his constant Love;  
But now most lovingly unto him she is seen,  
And she bids him never fear wearing the Willow Green,   
Tune is, My Love sleeps on another Man's Pillow. Or, The Willow Green, etc.  
 

WHat ails my Love to be so sad,  
why art thou troubled so in mind,  
I am come now to make thee glad,  
to thee I will prove true and kind;  
Then cast aw●y all sorrow and care,  
and be joyful as thou hast been,  
Cheer up thy heart and do not fear   

〈◊〉 shalt not wear the Willow green.   

I am come to fulfil thy wishes:  
as thou shalt find immediately  
Come now and take a hundred kisses;  
In token of my love to thee.  
Although thy woes at first seemed double  
yet let sorrow no more be seen,  
I now will free thee from the trouble,   

Of wearing the Willow Green.   

Although long time we have been parted,  
'twas but thy constancy to prove,  
Now I'll be Loyal and true hearted,  
unto thee my own true Love.  
No man that li●es on English Ground,  
shall e'er my true-Love from thee win,  
If I m●●●… gain five hundred p●und,   

my Love shall not wear the willow green.   

What though I showed myself unconstant,  
to thee at fi●st and seemed coy.  
Yet thou shalt find by this instant,  
I will be thy only j●y:  
Then prithee dearest Love content thee,  
and be not sad as thou hast been,  
For I am resolved to 〈◊〉 thee   

From wearing the willow green.   

'tis thou art him that I love best,  
above all men that e●e I I see,  
I am the maid I do protest  
that will prove constant unto thee.  
I love thee dearer than Gold are Pearl  
No Riches ever shall me win,  
If I might have a Lord or Earl▪   

my Love should not wear the Willow green.   

I have been wooed by many a Gallant,  
which would have gladly wedded me,  
But I have refused both Gold and talon  
all for the Love I bear to thee:  
Many called me their joy and honey,  
hoping my favour too to win.  
But no Man shall cause me with Money   

to make thee wear the Willow green.   

Although thou blamest me to be cruel,  
and hardhearted unto thee,  
Yet now I'll be thy only jewel  
and love no man but only thee,  
Thy Lovesick Suit is fully granted,  
faithful ever I'll be seen,  
True Love in me shall ne'er be wanted   

therefore cast off the Willow green.   

Then prithee Love make no delay,  
let's not our precious time withstand  
Come let us to the Church away,  
and there be joined hand in hand,  
We'll live as loving as any two  
That ever in the Land was seen,  
Therefore my dearest bid adieu,   

for ever wearing the Willow green.   

At this the young man rejoiced greatly.  
to hear his Sweethearts kind Reply  
He then embraced her most neatly  
with kisses then so lovingly:  
They went unto a Priest with speed,  
in a brave manner as e'er was seen.  
Where as they Married was in deed,   

now he cast off the Willow green.   

So lovers all I bid adieu,  
I pray much of my Verses make  
These Lines I here present to you,  
where in you may a pattern take,  
I wish you may continue long,  
is Pleasure, Comfort, and Delight,  
And there's an end of my new Song.   

called the Willow green, turned into White.
