English text

Lord, when I think what a paltery thing
is a glove or a ring or a top of a fan to brag of,
and how much a Noddy will triumph in a busk point,
snatch with the tag off, then I say
Well fare him that hath ever used close play.

And when I see what a pitiful grace
hath a frown in the face
or a no in the lips of a Lady, Lady
and when I had wist she would be kiss'd
when she away did go with hey ho
I end so, Never trust any woman more than you know.
