[Of all the birds that I doe know]
[1]
Of all the birds that I doe knowPhilip my sparrow hath no peer
For sit she high or sit shee lowe,
Be she far off or bee she neere
There is no birde so fayre so fine
Nor yet so fresh as this of mine,
For when she once hath felt a fitte,
Philip will crie still yet yet yet yet.

Come in a morning merily,When Philip hath beene latelie fed,
Or in an Euening soberlie,
VVhen Philip list to go to bed,
It is a heauen to heare my Phippe,
How she can chirpe with merry iippe,
For when

She neuer wanders far abroad,But is at home when I do call,
If I commaund she laies on loade,
VVith lips, with teeth, with tong and all,
She chaunts, she cherpes, she makes such cheare,
That I beleeue she hath no peere.

And yet besides all this good sport,My Philip can both sing and daunce,
with new found toyes of sundrie sort,
My Philip can both pricke and praunce.
And if you say but fend cut phippe,
Lord how the peate wil turne and skippe,
For when
4
And to tel truth he were to blame,Hauing so fine a bird as she,
To make him all this goodly game,
VVithout suspect or ielousie,
He were a churle, and knew no good,
Would
