Friends sit and banter wit,

She'll shape a well-turned phrase, a subtle jest to hit.

In short, my sole delight

(Why, pipe, you sputter so!),

Whose angel visage bright

(And at me ashes throw!)

Shall never rival fear. You're jealous now, I know.

Nay, pipe, I'll not leave thee;

For of thy gifts there's one

That's passing dear to me
