Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCB BBBBDDB EEAAFFA BBAAGGA| Before me careless lying | A |
| Young Love his ware comes crying | A |
| Full soon the elf untreasures | B |
| His pack of pains and pleasures | B |
| With roguish eye | C |
| He bids me buy | C |
| From out his pack of treasures | B |
| - | |
| His wallet's stuffed with blisses | B |
| With true love knots and kisses | B |
| With rings and rosy fetters | B |
| And sugared vows and letters | B |
| He holds them out | D |
| With boyish flout | D |
| And bids me try the fetters | B |
| - | |
| Nay Child I cry I know them | E |
| There's little need to show them | E |
| Too well for new believing | A |
| I know their past deceiving | A |
| I am too old | F |
| I say and cold | F |
| To day for new believing | A |
| - | |
| But still the wanton presses | B |
| With honey sweet caresses | B |
| And still to my undoing | A |
| He wins me with his wooing | A |
| To buy his ware | G |
| With all its care | G |
| Its sorrow and undoing | A |
