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."
