To seek with his lips what his heart long had soke;

They so sweetly did glide, that they both thought they glode,
And they came to the place to be tied, and were tode.

At the feet where he wanted to kneel, there he knole,
And he said, " I feel better than ever I fole."

And this was the thing he was bringing, and brung.

While he took to teasing, and cruelly toze
The girl he had wished to be squeezing, and squoze.

"Wretch!" he cried when she threatened to leave him, and left,
"How could you deceive me, as you have deceft?"
