| 1 | Ay, madam, so you stumble not unheedfully. | |
| 2 | Please you repeat their names, I'll show my mind
 | |
| 3 | As of a knight well-spoken, neat and fine;
 | |
| 4 | Well of his wealth; but of himself, so so. | |
| 5 | Lord, Lord! to see what folly reigns in us! | |
| 6 | Pardon, dear madam: 'tis a passing shame
 | |
| 7 | Then thus: of many good I think him best. | |
| 8 | I have no other, but a woman's reason;
 | |
| 9 | Ay, if you thought your love not cast away. | |
| 10 | Yet he, of all the rest, I think, best loves ye. | |
| 11 | Fire that's closest kept burns most of all. | |
| 12 | O, they love least that let men know their love. | |
| 13 | Peruse this paper, madam. | |
| 14 | That the contents will show. | |
| 15 | Valentine's page; and sent, I think, from Proteus.
 | |
| 16 | To plead for love deserves more fee than hate. | |
| 17 | That you may ruminate. | |
| 18 | What would your ladyship? | |
| 19 | I would it were,
 | |
| 20 | Nothing. | |
| 21 | To take a paper up that I let fall. | |
| 22 | Nothing concerning me. | |
| 23 | Madam, it will not lie where it concerns
 | |
| 24 | That I might sing it, madam, to a tune.
 | |
| 25 | It is too heavy for so light a tune. | |
| 26 | Ay, and melodious were it, would you sing it. | |
| 27 | I cannot reach so high. | |
| 28 | Keep tune there still, so you will sing it out:
 | |
| 29 | No, madam; it is too sharp. | |
| 30 | Nay, now you are too flat
 | |
| 31 | Indeed, I bid the base for Proteus. | |
| 32 | She makes it strange; but she would be best pleased
 | |
| 33 | Madam,
 | |
| 34 | What, shall these papers lie like tell-tales here? | |
| 35 | Nay, I was taken up for laying them down:
 | |
| 36 | Ay, madam, you may say what sights you see;
 | |
| 37 | Alas, the way is wearisome and long! | |
| 38 | Better forbear till Proteus make return. | |
| 39 | I do not seek to quench your love's hot fire,
 | |
| 40 | But in what habit will you go along? | |
| 41 | Why, then, your ladyship must cut your hair. | |
| 42 | What fashion, madam shall I make your breeches? | |
| 43 | You must needs have them with a codpiece, madam. | |
| 44 | A round hose, madam, now's not worth a pin,
 | |
| 45 | If you think so, then stay at home and go not. | |
| 46 | Then never dream on infamy, but go.
 | |
| 47 | All these are servants to deceitful men. | |
| 48 | Pray heaven he prove so, when you come to him! | |
