¶Olde Melibeus Song, courting his Nimph.

LOues Queene long waiting for her true-Loue, Slaine by a Boare which he had chased, Left off her teares, and me embraced,

Page [unnumbered]

She kist me sweet, and call'd me new-Loue, With my siluer haire she toyed, In my stayed lookes she ioyed. Boyes (shee sayd) breede beauties sorrow: Olde men cheere it euen and morrow. My face she nam'd the seate of fauour, All my defects her tongue defended, My shape she prais'd, but most commended My breath, more sweete then Balme in sauour. Be old man with me delighted, Loue for loue shall be requited. With her toyes at last she wone me: Now she coyes that hath vndone me.
