"That like a Bee, Love hath a little sting.
He lurkes in flowres, he pearcheth on the trees,
He on king's pillowes, bends his prettie knees...."
[1214] Continuing:—
"It is a pricke, it is a sting,
It is a prettie, prettie thing.
It is a fire, it is a cole
Whose flame creeps in at everie hole...."
This is the version of the Drummond Ms. fragment, which differs from the Rawlinson Ms. See Dyce, Greene and Peele, p. 603. Fainter resemblances might be cited.
