ANE LETTER FROM ANE LOVER TO HIS M^^*^
My Dear^Since first I see'd
Thy face and personage,
My Heart is moved indeed,
Yea, in ane Horid rage.
Till y' I doe Enjoy
The whom I most desyre.
Pray, Betie, be not coy,

Thy wit hath caj^tivate
My soul as in a Chaine,
With maney pritty Chatt :
Pray don't me now disdaine.
Least ye bring him too loe.
In whose afFectione high,
Al things would undergoe,
For Love he bears to thee.
My blushing continance
Showeth me ane Lover true.
Who would right faine advance
To proi^ose Love to you.
Pray give some kind returne
To roose my drooping soull.
Least I for ever murne,
Meeting with sade controle.
For since ye did depart,
Each day methought a yeer,
My heart it sore doeth smart :
Returne again my dear,
My Dear^Since first I see'd
Thy face and personage,
My Heart is moved indeed,
Yea, in ane Horid rage.
Till y' I doe Enjoy
The whom I most desyre.
Pray, Betie, be not coy,
I liumblie the requyre.
Thy wit hath caj^tivate
My soul as in a Chaine,
With maney pritty Chatt :
