2. Soft Cupid soft

                   1 
       Soft Cupid soft, there is no haste,
       For all vnkindnesse gone and past,
       Since thou wilt needs forsake me so,
       Let vs parte friendes, before thou goe.

                   2 
       Still shalt thou haue my heart to vse,
       When I cannot otherwise chuse,
       My life thou mayst command Saunce doubt,
       Command I say and goe with out.

                   3 
       And if that I doe euer proue,
       False and vnkind to gentle Loue
       Ile not desire to liue a day,
       Nor any longer then I may.

                   4 
       Ile daily blesse the little God
       But not without a smarting rod,
       Wilt thou still vnkindly leaue mee,
       Now I pray God all ill goe with thee.
