Shepherds in their loves are as coy as kings.

Corydon's Phillis, Nysa and Mopsus,

With dainty Dousibel and Sir Tophus.

[5546]Thou honeysuckle of the hawthorn hedge,

Vouchsafe in Cupid's cup my heart to pledge;

My heart's dear blood, sweet Cis is thy carouse

Worth all the ale in Gammer Gubbin's house.

I say no more, affairs call me away,

My father's horse for provender doth stay.

Be thou the Lady Cressetlight to me.
