Cross child red and frowning so	A
'I the day just over	B
Gave a lock of hair to no	A
How DARE you say my lover '	C

Men have such little wit	E
His sin I ever will chastise	G
Because I gave him it	E

'Shameless in me the gift alas	H
In him his open bliss	I
But for the privilege he has	J
A thousand he shall miss	I

Call up a burning blot	L
I hate him for his shameful craft	K
That asked by asking not '	-

Luckless boy and all for hair	M
He never asked you said	N
'Not just but then he gazed I swear	M
He gazed it from my head	N

'His silence on my cheek like breath	O
I felt in subtle way	P
More sweet than aught another saith	O
Was what he did not say	P

Who should be above him	R
Perhaps he'll think me light perhaps	Q
Perhaps he'll think I love him	R

I hate him that I blush	T
Or are they innocent still I hate	S
They mean a thing's to hush	T
	-
'Before he nought amiss could do	U
Now all things show amiss	I
'Twas all my fault I know that true	U
But all my fault was his	V
	-
'I hate him for his mute distress	W
'Tis insult he should care	M
Because my heart's all humbleness	W
All pride is in my air	M
	-
'With him each favour that I do	U
Is bold suit's hallowing text	X
Each gift a bastion levelled to	U
The next one and the next	X
	-
'Each wish whose grant may him befall	Y
Is clogged by those withstood	Z
He trembles hoping one means all	Y
And I lest perhaps it should	Z
	-
'Behind me piecemeal gifts I cast	A2
My fleeing self to save	B2
And that's the thing must go at last	A2
For that's the thing he'd have	C2
	-
'My lock the enforc ed steel did grate	S
To cut its root thrills came	D2
Down to my bosom It might sate	S
His lust for my poor shame	D2

'His sifted dainty this should be	E2
For a score ambrosial years	W
But his too much humility	E2
Alarums me with fears	W

'My gracious grace a breach he counts	W
For graceless escalade	F2
And though he's silent ere he mounts	W
My watch is not betrayed	G2

'My heart hides from my soul he's sweet	H2
Ah dread if he divine	I2
One touch I might fall at his feet	H2
And he might rise from mine	I2

'To hear him praise my eyes' brown gleams	W
Was native safe delight	J2
But now it usurpation seems	W
Because I've given him right	J2
	-
'Before I'd have him not remove	K2
Now would not have him near	L2
With sacrifice I called on Love	M2
And the apparition's Fear '	-
	-
Foolish to give it 'Twas my whim	R
When he might parted be	E2
To think that I should stay by him	R
In a little piece of me	E2
	-
'He always said my hair was soft	N2
What touches he will steal	O2
Each touch and look and he'll look oft	P2
I almost thought I'd feel	O2
	-
'And then when first he saw the hair	M
To think his dear amazement	Q2
As if he wished from skies a star	R2
And found it in his casement	Q2
	-
'He's kiss the lock and I had toyed	Q2
With dreamed delight of this	W
But ah in proof delight was void	Q2
I could not SEE his kiss '	-
	-
So fond one half this agony	E2
Were spared which my hand hushes	W
Could you have played Sweet the sweet spy	S2
And blushed not for your blushes	W
