5.20 Heaven send me the affliction of Daphnis if e’er I believe that tale. But enough of this; if thou’lt wage me a kid – ‘tis not worth the candle, but nevertheless come on; I’ll have a contention o’ song with thee till thou cry hold.
And well they may, for t’other day they had two goats for me.
A fine fat ram a-batt’ning; for Apollo’s feast draws nigh.
And the damsel sees and the damsel says ‘Poor lad, dost milk alone?’
And fouls his dear not a youth but a boy mid flowers that blow so plenty.
Fling apples, and her pretty lips call pouting to be kissed.
