[II. My Mistrisse after seruice due]

My Mistrisse after seruice due

My Mistrisse after seruice due, Demaunded if indeed my loue were true, I said it was, Then shee replide, That I must hate who she defide, And so my selfe, aboue the rest, Whom she, (she swore) did most of all detest, In sooth said I, you see I hate my selfe, Who sets my loue on such a peeuish elfe. In sooth said I, you see I hate my selfe, who sets my loue on such a peeuish elfe.
