[Ber.]Oft have I seen thee at the noon-day feast,
When seated by thyself, for want of peers,
The while thy merrymen did laugh and jest,
On me thou seem'st all eyes, to me all ears.
32
Lest a disdainful look to thee be sent,
And presents mad'st me, more than thy compeers,
Of scarfs of scarlet, and fine parament;
All thy intent to please was turned to me,
I say it, I must strive that thou rewarded be.
