Melodious birds sing[660] madrigals.
And I will make thee beds of roses[661]
And[662] a thousand fragrant posies,
A cup of flowers and a kirtle
Embroidered all with leaves of myrtle.
A gown[663] made of the finest wooll
Which from our pretty lambs we pull;
Fair-linèd[664] slippers for the cold,
With buckles of the purest gold.
A belt of straw and ivy-buds,
