“ As you finde me, minde me.
20
The posie of a young man to his Love, shewing the simplicity and truth of Love.
Two hands, two feet,
Two eares, two eyes;
One tongue, one heart,
Where true love lies.
21
Another from a Lover, far from his Love. ”

“ God above increase our love.
Another.
All thine, is mine.
26
Another.
Nere joy the heart,
That seeks to part.
27
Another sent with a pair of Bracelets.
Fair as Venus, as Diana
Chast and pure is my Susana.
28
The posie of a young man to his Love, shewing her what a woman should be. Tell him that
If woman should to man be wo,
She should not be what God did
make her,
That was to be a helper, so
God then did give
man now doth take her.
29
The posie of a Maid cast off, expressing how light she takes it. ”

“ I would here offer my sincere thanks to our distinguished typographer, who has spared no pains to place before the reader as nearly as possible a fac-simile of the copy in the British Museum. The quaintness of the little work will I hope commend it to every “Odd Volume”; it is, moreover, now very scarce, which you will readily believe when I tell you that I have not been able to procure a copy—for “love” or “money”—even with our far-famed Librarian’s assistance. ”
