We blesse our Fortunes, when we see Our own beloved privacie: And like our living, where w'are known To very few, or else to none. ' F ye will with Mab find grace, Set each Platter in his place: Rake the Fier up, and get Water in, ere Sun be set. Wash your Pailes, and dense your Dairies; Sluts are loathsome to the Fairies: Sweep your house: Who doth not so, Mab will pinch her by the toe. 104 'HEN I behold a Forrest spread With silken trees upon thy head; And when I see that other Dresse Of flow...ers set in comlinesse: When I behold another grace In the ascent of curious Lace, Which like a Pinacle doth shew The top, and the top-gallant too. Then, when I see thy Tresses bound Into an Ovall, square, or round; And knit in knots far more then I Can tell by tongue; or true-love tie: Next, when those Lawnie Filmes I see Play with a wild civility : And all those airie silks to flow, Alluring me, and tempting so : I must conf esse, mine eye and heart Dotes less on Nature, then on Art CANNOT pipe as I was wont to do, Broke is my Reed, hoarse is my singing too: My wearied Oat He hang upon the Tree, And give it to the Silvan Deitie.
