¶Lyrics / Text

Susanna fayre sometime of love requested by two olde men whom hir sweet looks allur'd, was in hir hart full sad and sore molested, seeing the force hir chastity endured, to them she sayd: if I by craft procur'd, doe yeeld to you my body to abuse it, I kill my soule, and if I doe refuse it, you will me judge to death reprochfully, but better it is in innocence to chuse it then by my fault, t'offend my God on hye.
