[ZN609]
The Contented Couckould.
Come hither thou seaman brave
sir what do you require,
I prethee tell mee if thou can
the thing that I desire,
Seeest thou not my true Loue,
seest not my Louer go downe,
And seest thou not my true louer then
com through New-Castle Towne.
And metest thou not my true Loue
by the way as you came
How should I know your true Loue,
that haue met many a one.
She is neyther whit nor black
but as the heauens faire
Her lookes are very beautifull,
none may with her compare.
