53 Of a Lady early vp.

LEsbya, that wonted was to sleepe till noone, This other morning stirring was at fiue: What did she meane, thinke you, to rise so soone? I doubt we shall not haue her long aliue. Yes: neuer feare it, there is no such danger, It seemes vnto her course you be a stranger: For why, a dauncing, banquetting, and play, And at Carowsing many a costly cup, She sate the night before, vntill twas day, And by that meane, you found her early vp▪ Oh, was it so? why then the case is cleere, That she was early vp, and ne're the neere.
