Ob. Ob.
Ob. Welcome good Robin:
Ob. Seest thou this sweet sight?
Ob. Her dotage now I doe begin to pitty.
Ob. For meeting her of late behinde the wood,
Ob. Seeking sweet sauors for this hatefull foole,
Ob. I did vpbraid her, and fall out with her.
Ob. For she his hairy temples then had rounded,
Ob. With coronet of fresh and fragrant flowers.
Ob. And that same dew which somtime on the buds,
Ob. Was wont to swell like round and orient pearles;
Ob. Stood now within the pretty flouriets eyes,
Ob. Like teares that did their owne disgrace bewaile.
Ob. When I had at my pleasure taunted her,
Ob. And she in milde termes beg'd my patience,
Ob. I then did aske of her, her changeling childe,
Ob. Which straight she gaue me, and her Fairy sent
Ob. To beare him to my Bower in Fairy Land.
Ob. And now I haue the Boy, I will vndoe
Ob. This hatefull imperfection of her eyes.
