He knew poor Maiden-flesh was frail;

And laughs now I have nought to say,

But who can help what will away.

But let the blame upon me lie,

I had no heart him to denie:

Had I another Maidenhead,

I’d lose it ere I went to bed:

For what can all the world more say,

Than who can help what will away?
