Mother, I will have a husband
(Thomas Vautor, The First Set... Apt of Vyols and Voyces, 1619))

Mother, I will have a husband,
And I will have him out of hand.
Mother, I will sure have one, have one,
In spite of her that will have none.

John a Dun should have had me long ere this,
He said I had good lips to kiss, to kiss, to kiss,
Mother, I will sure have one,
In spite of her that will have none.

For I have heard ’tis trim when folks do love,
By good Sir John I swear now I will prove,
For Mother, I will sure have one, have one,
In spite of her that will have none.

To the town therefore will I gad,
To get me a husband good or bad.

Mother, I will have, &c

Flora gave me fairest flowers
