[XIIII. Beesides a foūtaine]
Beesides a foūtaine, of sweete brier and roses
Beesides a foūtaine, of sweete brier and roses; heard I two Louers talk
in sweet & wanton gloses. Besides a fountaine, of sweet
brier & roses; heard I two Louers (loueing) talk these sweet and
wāton gloses, Say dainty deere, quoth hee, to whom, tel me, daintie deer quoth
hee, to whome is thy liking tyed? To whome but thee my bonny
loue; to whom but thee my bonny bonny bonny loue my loue ye gentle
Nimphe replied. I die I die I die quoth hee quoth hee; & I & I & I said
shee, Ah giue me then, ah giue me, giue me then quoth hee but he durst not
say giue mee some token, and with his hands the rest hee would haue spoken;
fie away nay fie away, cryed the Nimph then, fie away, nay
fie away then cry'd the Nimphe (alas) you well doe know it: Ah quoth
hee sweetly come kisse mee then sweetly come kisse mee then, sweetly kisse mee and shew it.
