The lovers farewel to his [uncon]stant mistris] : He's now resolved for to change his mind, since that he found her fickle as the wind : and hopes in spight of fate to find another, that shall more constant prove, then did the other and so he bids his former love adieu, since like a weather-cock she was untrue / To a new tune, much in request, or, Johnny Arm-strong ; with allowance.
