In wicker-baskets maids shall bring

To thee, my dearest shepherdling,

The blushing apple, bashful pear,

And shame-faced plum all simp'ring there:

Walk in the groves and thou shalt find

The name of Phillis in the rind

Of every straight and smooth-skin tree,

Where kissing that I'll twice kiss thee.

To thee a sheep-hook I will send

Be-prankt with ribands to this end,
