Since I From Love

Since I from Love escaped am so fat,

I ne'er think to be in his prison ta'en;

Since I am free,

I count him not a bean.

He may answer, and saye this and that;

I do no force,

I speak right as I mean;

Since I from Love escaped am so fat.

Love hath my name struck out of his slat,

And he is struck out of my bookes clean,

For ever more; there is none other mean;

Since I from Love escaped am so fat.
