Text Appearing Before Image:
Love in my bosom, like a bee. Doth suck his sweet;Now with his wings he plays with me,Now with his feet.Within mine eyes he makes his nest,His bed amidst my tender breast;My kisses are his daily feast,And yet he robs me of my rest:Ah ! wanton, will ye ? And if I sleep, then percheth he With pretty flight,And makes his pillow of my knee The livelong night.(,6)
Text Appearing After Image:
Strike I my lute, he tunes the string;He music plays if so I sing;He lends me every lovely thing,Yet cruel he my heart doth sting:Whist, wanton, will ye ? Else I with roses every dayWill whip you hence,And bind you, when you long to play,For your offence;Ill shut my eyes to keep you in;Ill make you fast it for your sin;Ill count your power not worth a pin;— Alas ! what hereby shall I win,If he gainsay me ? What if I beat the wanton boy With many a rod?He will repay me with annoy,Because a god.Then sit thou safely on my knee,c (17) And let thy bower my bosom be;Lurk in mine eyes, I like of thee,O Cupid! so thou pity me,Spare not, but play thee! — Thomas Lodge.
