VI. My complayning is but faining

           1   
       My complayning is but faining,
           All my loue is but in iest,       fa la la,
       And my courting is but sporting,
           In most shewing meaning, least.       fa la la,

          2   
       Outward sadnesse inward gladnesse,
           Representeth in my mind,       fa la la,
       In most faining most obtaining,
           Such good faith in loue I find.       fa la la,

           3   
       Towards Ladies this my trade is,
           Two minds in one breast I were,       fa la la,
       And my measure at my pleasure,
           Ice and flame my face doth beare.       fa la la,
