Time hath not given thee leave as yet

For to commit so great a sinne!”

Yes, herdsman, yes, soe wou’dst thou say,

If thou knewest so much as I;

My wits, and thoughtes, and all the rest,

Have well deserved for to dye.

I am not what I seeme to bee,

My cloths and sexe doe differ fare;

I am a woman, woe is mee!

Born to greeffe, and irksome care.
