With my flock as walkèd I The plains and mountains over, Late a damsel pass’d me by; With an intent to move her, I stept in her way, she stept awry; But oh, I shall ever love her! Such a face she had, for to Invite any man to love her, But her coy behaviour taught That it was in vain to move her. For divers so this dame hath wrought That they themselves might move her. Let her know, though fair she be, That there is a pow’r above her. Thousands more enamoured ahall be Though little it will move her. She still doth vow virginity When all the world doth love her. 16th Century
