Whene’er the wast makes too much hast,
That hast againe makes too much wast.

Here silken twynes, there locks you see—
Now tell me which the softer bee?

This keepes my hands
From Cupid’s bands.

My love and I for kisses play'd,
Shee would keepe stake, I was content,
But when I wonne shee would be paid;
This made mee aske her what she meant.
Pray, since I see (quoth she) your wrangling vayne,
Take your owne kisses, give me myne againe.'
