Poems

My mistress loves no woodcocks
...Yet loves to pick the bones.
My mistress loves no jewels
...Yet loves the precious stones.
My mistress loves no hunting
...Yet she loves the horn.
My mistress loves no babies
...Yet loves to see men borne.
My mistress loves no wrestling
...Yet loves to take a fall.
My mistress loves not some things
...And yet she loveth all.
My mistress loves a spender
...Yet loves she not a waster.
My mistress loves no cuckolds
. . . No cuckolds
...And yet she loves my master,
...And yet, and yet, and yet, and yet, and yet she loves my master.
