¶Liedtext

1. I have been a foster Long and many a day; Foster will I be no more, No longer shoot I may; Yet have I been a foster. 2. Hang I will my noble bow upon the greenwood bough, For I cannot shoot in plain nor yet in rough; Yet have I been a foster. 3. Every bow for me is to big; mine arrow nigh worn is; The glue is slipp’d from the nick; when I should shoot I miss; Yet have I been a foster. 4. Lady Venus hath commanded me out of her court to go. Right plainly she sheweth me that beauty is my foe. Yet have I been a foster. 5. My beard is so hard, God wot, when I should maidens kisse, They stand aback and make it strange. Lo, age is cause of this. Yet have I been a foster. 6. Now will I take to me my beads for and my psalter-book, And pray I will for them that may, for [I] may nought but look. Yet have I been a foster.
