| Goe and catch a falling starre [296] |
| Get with child a Mandrake roote |
| Tell mee where all past yeares are |
| or who cleft the deuills foote |
| Teach mee to heare Mermayds singing |
| Or to keepe of Envyes stinging |
| And find |
| what wind |
| Serves to advance an honest mind |
|
| If thou beest borne to strange sights |
| Things invisible to see |
| Ride ten thousand dayes and nights |
| Till Age snowe white hayres on thee |
| Thou at thy returne wilt tell mee |
| All strange things that e're befell thee |
| And sweare |
| no where |
| Liues a woman true and fayre |
|
| If thou findst one, let mee knowe |
| Such a pilgrimage were sweete |
| Yet doe not for I would not goe |
| Though at next dore wee might meete |
| Though shee were true when you mett her |
| And last so till you write yor letter |
| Yet shee |
| Will bee |
| ffalse ere I come to two or three
