Ho. Why is my fellow Dick in the dark with my Mistres.
I pray God they be honest, for there may be much knauerie

with them, good maister wil ye carry the torch your self, &

And thinke vpon the matter all alone,
Good Lord what pritty things these Cunnies are,
How finely they do feede till they be fat,
And then what a sweet meate a Cunny is,
And what smooth skins they haue, both black and gray,
