Give me my pantables. Fie this hot wether how it makes me sweat, heigh ho my heart, ah I am passing faint. Give me my fan that I may cool my face, Hold, take my mask but see you rumple not, This wind and dust see how it smolders me, Some drink good Gloster or I die for drink, Ah Ned thou hast forgot thy Nell I see, That she is thus enforced to follow thee. (majesty This airs distemperature and please your Noisome through mountains vapours send thick mist, Unpleasant needs must be to you and your company, That never was wont to take the air, Till Flora have perfumed the earth with sweets, With lilies, roses, mints and Eglantine, I tell thee the ground is all to base, For Elinor to honour with her steps: Whose footpace when she progressed in the street, Of Aecon and the fair Ierusalem, Was nought but costly Arras points: Fair I land tapestry and Azured silk, My milk white steed treading on cloth of ray, And trampling proudly underneath the feet, Choice of our English woollen drapery. This climate or clowring with black congealed clouds, That takes their swelling from the marish soil, Fraught with infectious frogs and rvistie damps, Is far unworthy to be once embalmed: With redolence of this refreshing breath: That sweetens where it lights as do the flames, And holy fires of Vesta's sacrifice. spring, Whose pleasant fields new planted with the Make Thamesis to mount above the banks, And like a wanton wallowing up and down: On Flora's beds and Napees silver down. And wales for me madam while you are here, No Climate good unless your grace be near, Would wales had aught could please you half so well, Or any precious thing in Gloster's gift, Whereof your ladyship would challenge me. Well said my lord 'tis as my mother says, You men have learned to woe a thousand ways. O madame had I learned against my need, Of all those ways to woo one way to speed, My cunning then had been my fortune's guide. Faith Joan I think thou must be Gloster's bride, Good Earl how near he steps unto her side, So soon this eye these younglings had espied, I'll tell thee girl when I was fair and young: I found such honey in sweet Edward's tongue, As I could never spend one idle walk, But Ned and I would piece it out with talk. So you my Lord when you have got your Joan, No matter let Queen mother be alone. Old Nell is mother now and grandmother may, The greenest grass doth droop and turn to hay, Woo one kind clerk, good Gloster love thy Joan, Her heart is thine, her eyes is not her own. This comfort Madam that your grace doth give Binds me in double duty whilst I live, Would God King Edward see and say no less.
