Sweet Kate of late ran away and left me ‘plaining:
"He-he-he" quoth she, "gladly would I see any man to die with loving!"
"Abide!" I cried, "or I die with thy disdaining".
"Never any yet died of such a fit; neither have I fear of proving."
Unkind! I find thy delight is in tormenting:
"Abide!" I cried, "or I die with thy consenting".
"Te-he-he" quoth she, "make no fool of me,
Men I know have oaths at pleasure;
but their hopes attain'd, they betray they feigned,
and their oaths are kept at leisure".
Her words, like swords, cut my sorry heart in sunder:
Het flouts with doubts keep my heart's affections under.
"Te-he-he" quoth she, "what a fool is he stands in awe of once denying!"
Cause I had enough to become more rough: so I did. O happy trying!
