Side 41 - The rest complains of cares to come. The flowers do fade, and wanton fields To wayward Winter reckoning yields: A honey tongue, a heart of gall, Is fancy's spring, but sorrow's fall. Thy gowns, thy shoes, thy beds of roses, Thy cap, thy kirtle, and thy posies, Soon break...
Side 36 - Look you, Scholar, thereabout we shall have a bite presently, or not at all: have with you Sir ! o

Yes, and a friend with him. They are both glad to hear that you are in these parts ; and long to see you ; and long to be at supper, for they be very hungry.
