Satire 25.

[Wherein dus Ouids Eccho that sweete am'rous Nimph]

Wherein dus Ouids Eccho that sweete am'rous Nimph;
Excell the Ladie Delphis our most heau'nly Imph?
As Ouids nimph would still Narcissus last words vse,
Like soe dus Delphis hir sweet Pomus woords peruse:
Let Pomus saie sweet Dilphis can'st thou loue quoth hee?
Then (Eccho-like) shee takes the last word [loue] quoth shee,
Thy tempting-cherry-lipps sweet Delphis I will kisse
Quoth Delphis [kisse]; soe sild' the last word would shee mis,
My leggs between thy snowy thighs will I entwind;
Quoth shee [entwind] thus loue with'last words dus shee binde.

I'le doe as litle Cupid bidds his Champions doe,
Quoth Delphis [doe,] still vnto Pomus answering soe
Vntill by Pomus shee had paied hir maydens debt,
His last word & hir first still often-times thus mett.
