English text

Faire, sweet, cruell, why doest thou flie mee,

Goe not, oh goe not from thy deerest,

Though thou doest hasten I am nie thee,

When thou see'mst farre then am I neerest,

O tarrie then and take me with you.

Fie, fie, sweetest here is no danger,

Flie not, oh flie not loue pursues thee,

I am no foe, nor forraine stranger,

Thy scornes with fresher hope renewes me,

Tarrie then, &c.
