We mourn when licht

We mourn when licht day dawis, we plain the nicht is short, We curse the cock that crawis, that hinderis our disport.

And then is all the sorrow forth of remembrance That ever I had a-forrow in luvis observance.

Thus never I do rest, so lusty a life I lead, Quhen that I list to test the well of womanheid. Luvaris in pain, I pray God send you sic remeid As I have nicht and day, you to defend from deid! Therefore be ever true unto your ladies free, And they will on you rue as mine has done on me. wiss] wish.

NUMBERS FROM ELIZABETHAN MISCELLANIES SONG-BOOKS BY UNNAMED OR UNCERTAIN AUTHORS. 1557 53. A Praise of His Lady Tottel's Miscellany ? by John Heywood GIVE place, you ladies, and begone! Boast not yourselves at all! For here at hand approacheth one Whose face will stain you all.

The virtue of her lively looks Excels the precious stone; I wish to have none other books To read or look upon. In each of her two crystal eyes Smileth a naked boy; It would you all in heart suffice To see that lamp of joy. I think Nature hath lost the mould Where she her shape did take; Or else I doubt if Nature could So fair a creature make.
