With orange tawny bill,
The throstle with his note so true
The wren with little quill.
Tita,, waking. What angel wakes me from my

Whose note full many n man doth mark,
And dares not answer nay.

So is mine eye enthralled to thy shape;
And thy fair virtues force, perforce, doth move

Bot.-Methinks mistress, you should have little
reason for that; and yet TO say the truth, reason

The summer still doth tend upon my state,
And do love thee; therefore go with me;

And they shalt fetch thee jewels from the deep,
And sing while thou on pressed flowers dost sleep,
And will purge thy mortal grossness So

iFai.-Where shall we goS
Tita.--Be kind and courteous to this gentleman; |
Hop in his walks and gambol in his eyes;
Feed him with aprcots, and dewberries,
With purple grapes, green figs and mulberries;
The honey bags steal from the humble bees.
And for night tapers crop their waxen thighs, |
And light them Mt the fiery glow worms eyes,
To have my love TO bed and to arise;
And pluck the wings from painted butterflies
TO fan the moonbcams from his sleeping eyes.
Nod TO him, elves, and do him courtesies.
/ Fai.-Hail, mortal |
2 Fai-Ha!
