But that peace in which I live

No descent nor wealth can give.

If you boast that you may gain

The respect of high-born beauties;

Know I never wooed in vain,

Nor preferrèd scornèd duties.

She I love hath all delight,

Rosy-red with lily-white,

And whoe'er your mistress be,

Flesh and blood as good as she.
