HYDE AND SEEKE.

One day beneathe a willowe tree,

Love met a mayde moste faire to see;

“Come play at hyde and seeke,” cried he.

“With alle my hearte!”—quoth she.

“I’m it!” Love cries, and rounde hys eyes

A scarfe the maiden bindeth,

And inne and oute and rounde aboute

Ye willowe trees he windeth—

Yette ne’er the maiden findeth.
