Lye Alone

Can any one tell what I ayle?
tha t I looke soe leane, soe wan, soe pale.
if I may be there Iudge, I thinke there is none
tha t can any longer lye alone

Was eu er womans case like mine?
att 15 yeeres [I] began to pine;
soe vnto this plight now I am growne,
I can, nor will, noe longer Lye alone

If dreames be true, then Ride I can;
I lacke nothing but a man,
for tis onlye hee can ease my moane.
I can, nor &c.

When daye is come, I wish for night;
When night is come, I wish for light;
thus all my time I sighe & moane
I can, nor &c.

To woe the first, ashamed am I;
for & if he aske I will not denye;
for the case is such I must needs haue one
I can noe &c.

Therfore my prayer, itt shalbe still
tha t I may haue one tha t will worke my will;
for itt is only hee can ease me anon,
& therfore Ile noe longer lye alone.
