_Haue you ſeene but a bright Lilly grow,
Before rude hands haue touch’d it? 105
Haue you mark’d but the fall of the Snow,
Before the ſoyle hath ſmuch’d it?
Haue you felt the wooll o’ the Beuer?
Or Swans downe, euer?
Or, haue ſmelt o’ the bud o’ the Bryer? 110
Or the Nard i’ the fire?
Or, haue taſted the bag o’ the Bee?
O, ſo white! O, ſo ſoft! O, ſo ſweet is ſhee!_

This to my wife, but paies for’t.
WIT. That haue I, Sir.
FIT. Nay, then, I tell you, you are.
WIT. What am I, Sir? 11
FIT. Why, that I’ll thinke on, when I ha’ cut your throat.

_Hee ſtrikes his wife._
