 Never beg, or humbly woo With oaths and lies, as others do. I could never walk alone; Put a shirt of sackcloth on: Never keep a fast, or pray For good luck in love that day. But have hitherto liv'd free As the air that circles me: And kept credit with my heart, Neither broke i' th' whole, or part.

Would ye have fresh cheese and cream? Julia's breast can give you them: And, if more, each nipple cries: To your cream here's strawberries.

End. Ah! Lycidas, come tell me why Thy whilom merry oat By thee doth so neglected lie, And never purls a note?

I prithee speak. Lyc. I will. End. Say on. Lyc. 'Tis thou, and only thou, That art the cause, Endymion. End. For love's sake, tell me how.
