I held Love's head while it did ache; But so it chanced to be; The cruel pain did his forsake, And forwith came to me. Ay me! how shall my grief be stilled? Or where else shall we find One like to me, who must be killed For being too too kind?

Language: English
Thou gav'st me leave to kiss; Thou gav'st me leave to woo; Thou mad'st me think by this And that, thou lov'dst me too. But I shall ne'er forget, How, for to make thee merry, Thou mad'st me chop, but yet, Another snapt the cherry.
