 5 Ρ Α Ρ Τ ΙΙΙ. He sent it on board then with diligent care, But ne'er thought bis beautiful daughter was there. She carried choice sweet-meats for her nourishment, And at last they arrived where the present was sent. This Prince liked the present, and gave a command, That this golden bull in his chamber should stand; That he might view it each day I declare, But little did dream that a Princess was there. Quire out of the buil in the night she did creep, And kiss'd the young Prince as he lay asleep, She left a rich neckcloth embroider'd with gold, Which he on his pillow next day did behold. The Prince had a mother, to whom he did say, Who did you let into my chamber, I pray? Son, there has been none, I do vow and protest: He lock'd up the neckcloth, and laugh'd at the inst. Next night as he lay asleep, to be plain, This Lady crept softly, and kiss'd him again, Next morning a handkerchief he did behold, Embroider'd with all sorts of flowers in gold. He said to his mother, I pray tell me right, What Lady has been in my chamber this night? Dear son, you have very strange whimsies I find, He took little notice, but ponder'd in wind "What Lady this is, I will be satisfy'd, ind if it be for love, I will make her my bride, I'll see for a fancy, who comes in my room, But if she's a harlot, death shall be her doom. At night she creep'd softly, and kiss'd him, 'tis said, And a velvet cap on his pillow she laid, His thoughts then were ravished so with her charms, That he on a sudden catch'd her in his arms.
