I Once did love a bonnye Lasse, As Oxford Towne doth know, But now I see all is not gold, that makes a glistring show. The fairest apple to the eye, May have a rotten core: And young men all now by my my fall, take heed trust not a whore. Shee'l stroke your cheeks shee'l stroke your chin, Shee'le fling her armes about you, And shee'le protest with vowes and oaths, She cannot live without you: Shee'le sigh and sob if that you say, Youle come to her no more: And Gallants all by this my fall, take heed trust not a whore. Shee'le buy you bandstrings at the Faire, Sheele cause you for to wo her: Sheele make you bracelets of her hayre, for to bewitch you to her, Sheele sit uppon you al the night, Sheele give you kisses store: But Gallants all by this my fall, take heed, trust not a whore. If thou shouldst be in heaven (quoth she) I would not live in hell:
If thou shouldst be on earth quoth she, in heaven I would not dwell: If thou shouldst be on sea (quoth she) I would not be on shore: Then Gallants all now by my fall, take heed trust not a whore. If that you chance for to be sad, Sheele bid you send for wine: For that is good sweet heart quoth she, for thy choyce heart and mine: And thus with sweet and smiling words, Sheele dive into your store: But Gallants all now by my fall, take heed trust not a whore. When she hath had her whole desire, And all your quoyne is spent, If you entreat her company, sheele say she shal be shent: Then will she leave you to your selfe, Your fortunes to deplore: Then Gallants all now by my fall, take heed trust not a whore.

SHeele sit alone with you and sweare, By God that did her make, While breath within her body is, shee will not you forsake: Shee'le let you toy, and stroake and kisse, Shee'le let you doe much more: But youngmen all, now by my fall, take heed trust not a Whore. Now here I-lye, my friends doe fly, My wench doth quite forsweare me, Her fathers house is but hard by, and yet she comes not neere me mee: In prison I for her doe lie, Close by her fathers dore: And young men all now by my fall, take heed trust not a Whore: My Creditors they chase at me, For my time spent so bad, And scarse I see no friend I have, is for my griefe now sad: And those that lovd in former times, They now doe me abhore: Then youngmen all now by my fall, take heed trust not a whore. My kinsfolkes they doe send to me, And oft on me doe raile, Now am I plagud in misery, heere lying in the Jayle:
But if that I come out againe, Though I be nere so poore: I never more will give consent, to meddle with a whore. You young men that in London live, Take heed by this my fall: For if you still will follow whores, they will devoure you all: Your quoine, your states, your health and friends, Then turne you out of doore: Oh Young men all by this my fall, take heed trust not a whore. Now farewell all you Prentises, That doe in London dwell, Leave all those vices, which will bring one day your soules to hell: So with my heart prayer for you, I now will say no more: But wish you all both great and small, take heed love not a whore.
FINIS.
