[Boye, bring my horse quoth Shift; but doe not tarye]

Boye, bring my horse quoth Shift; but doe not tarye
This meale I meane to saue an ordynarie


To daie my ladie Shift-of Ile goe see
Who will I hope to dynner envite mee:
Ile bring your horse his boye replies; But sir
You'l loose your labour yf you visitt hir
Hir Cooke for dynner nothing ready makes
Till dinners paste shee alwaies phisick takes
Shee'l not bee seene; hir chamber shee keepes then
To eate, and feed, and feed, and eate agen.
