Think women still to strive with men, But soft; enough,-too much I fear, Lest that my niistress hear my song; She 'll not stick to round me i' th' ear, To teach my tongue to be so long: Yet will she blush, here be it said, To hear her secrets so bewray'd. XVIII. Live with me, and be my love, There will we sit upon the rocks, There will I make thee a bed of roses, A belt of straw and ivy buds, LOVE'S ANSWER. If that the world and love were young, And truth in every shepherd's tongue, These pretty pleasures might me move To live with thee and be thy love. XIX.
