158 ENGLISH SONG AND BALLAD MUSIC.
Sucli a face she had for to
Invite any man to love her;
But her coy behaviour taught
That it was but in vain to move lier ;
For divers so this dame had wrought
That they themselves might move her."
Phoebus for her favour spent
His hair, her fair brows to cover
Venus' cheek and lips were sent,
That Cupid and Mars might move her
But Juno, alone, her nothing lent.
Lest Jove himself should love her.
Though she be so pure and chaste,
That nobody can disprove her;
So demure and straightly cast.
That nobody dares to move her;
Yet is she so fresh and sweetly fair
That I shall always love her.
Let her know, though fair she he,
That there is a power above her
Thousands more enamoured shall be.
Though little it will move her;
She still doth vow virginity.
When all the world doth love her.

This tune is called Cfo no more a rusliing, in a MS. Virginal Book of Byrd's
arrangements and compositions, in the possession of Dr. Rimbault ; and Tell me,
Daphne, in Queen Elizabeth's Virginal Book.

THE BLIND BEGGAR'S DAUGHTER OF BETHNAL GREEN.
This tune was found by Dr. Rimbault in a MS. volume of Lute Music, written
by Rogers, a celebrated lutenist of the reign of Chai-les II., in the library at
Etwall Hall, Derbyshire. It is there called The Cripple, and the ballad of
The stout Cripple of Cornwall is directed to be sung to the tune of The Hind
Beggar. See Roxburghe Collection, i. 389, and Bagford, i. 32. It is also in
Evans' Old Ballads, i. 97 (1810) ; but, as too frequently the case, the name of
the tune to which it was to be sung, is there omitted.
This line is evidently incorrect, but I liave no other cupy to refer to.
