Ah, Robin

By William Cornysshe, 1650

"Ah, Robin, gentil Robin,
tell me how thy leman doth,
and thou shalt know of mine."
"My lady is unkind, ywis;
alack! why is she so?
She loveth another better than me,
and yet she will say no."
"I cannot think such doubleness,
for I find women true.
In faith, my lady loveth me well,
and will change for no new."
