Lyrics: Anon

I prithee sweet, to me be kind,
Delight not so in scorning;
I sue for love, O let me find
Some pleasure 'midst my mourning.
What tho' to you I vassal be,
Let me my right inherit;
Send back the heart I gave to thee,
Since thine it cannot merit.
So I shall to the world declare
How good, how sweet, how fair you are.
