When first mine eyes

When first mine eyes did view and mark

Thy faire beauty to behold,

And when mine ears listened to hark

The pleasant words that thou me told,

I would as then I had been free

From ears to hear and eyes to see:

And when in mind I did consent

To follow this my fancy's will,

And when my heart did first relent

to taste such bait, my life to spill

I would my heart had been as thine,

Or else thy heart had been as mine.
