¶fine fore-head.

¶Pand: I you may, you may.

¶The shafts confound not that it wounds

¶But ticles still the sore:

¶These louers cry, oh ho they dye,

¶Yet that which seemes the wound to kill,

1595Doth turne oh ho, to ha ha he,

¶So dying loue liues still,

¶O ho a while, but ha ha ha,

¶O ho grones out for ha ha ha ---- hey ho,

¶Hell: In loue I faith to the very tip of the nose.

1600Par. He eates nothing but doues loue, and that breeds hot

¶blood, and hot bloud begets hot thoughts, and hot thoughts

¶beget hot deedes, and hot deeds is loue.

¶Pand. Is this the generation of loue: hot bloud hot

¶thoughts and hot deedes, why they are vipers, is loue a ge-

¶lantry of Troy.. I would faine haue arm'd to day, but my Nell

¶would not haue it so.
