(37) A longe nose.
A knight that should with curtesiea ladie entertayne,
at her longe nose begann to scoffe
with words of some disdaine,
and said, ‘yf your longe nose were not
a bulwarke of defence
To gard your lipps, they should be kiss'd
before wee parted hence.’
‘why, sir,’ quoth shee, ‘spare not therfore,
yf nose such hindrance bee,
you maie, where hindred nose doth want,
with ease freelie kisse mee.’
The scoffing knight thus retaunted,
in furie flange awaye,
But with replyeng scoffe before,
he thus to her did saye:
71
for sweetnes of your breth,
Whether I kisse your lipps above,
or ells your hipps beneath.’
