“ For fear a spoon would spoil my mouth,
⁠She fed me with a quill,
⁠Such a beauty, &c.

⁠As ony yаn o' yau. ”

“ And when they sawe the darksome night,
They sat them downe and cryed.
Thus wandered these two prettye babes,
Till death did end their grief;
In one another’s armes they dyed,
As babes wanting relief.

Of any man receives,
Till Robin-redbreast painfully
Did cover them with leaves.
