WOMANNE.
Shepster swayne, you tare mie gratche[37]. 115
Oute uponne ye! lette me goe.
Leave mee swythe, or I'lle alatche.

MANNE.
See! the crokynge brionie
Rounde the popler twyste hys spraie; 120
Rounde the oake the greene ivie
Florryschethe and lyveth aie.
Lette us seate us bie thys tree,
Laughe, and synge to lovynge ayres;
Comme, and doe notte coyen bee; 125
Nature made all thynges bie payres.
Drooried cattes wylle after kynde;
Gentle doves wylle kyss and coe.
WOMANNE.
Botte manne, hee moste bee ywrynde,
Tylle syr preeste make on of two. 130
Tempte mee ne to the foule thynge;

Tyll syr preeste hys songe doethe synge,
Thou shalt neere fynde aught of mee.
MANNE.

To-morrowe, soone as ytte ys daie,
I'lle make thee wyfe, ne bee forsworne,
So tyde me lyfe or dethe for aie.
