The Louer that had loued Long without requitald of good will

LOng did I loue, and likte hir passing well
Whose beautie bred ye thraldom of my thought,
Long did I sue to hir for to expell
The foule disdain yt beauties beames had wrought:
Long did I serue, and Long I would haue doon,
My minde was bent a thorow race to roon.
Long when I had looude, sude, and serued so.
As mought haue likte as braue a Dame as shée,
Hir Friend she forced not but let him go,
Shee looude at least besides him two or thrée:
Hir common cheare to erie one that sude,
Bred me to déeme shée did hir Friend delude.
Great was my griefe at first to be refusde
That Long had looude with true vnfained hart,
But when I sawe I had béene long abusde
I forcde the lesse from such a Friend to part:
Yet ere I gaue hir vp I gainde a thing
That griefe to hir, and ease to me did bring.
