¶Liedtext

Little flea, why so blood-thirsty, Thou'st drunk till it has almost burst ye; Thou'rt now too full of pride, I warrant, To stir a step on Strephon's errand. Yet prithee, sweet sincere back-biter, To Chloe go, that false delighter: Go hide thyself within her bodice, And make her own, she is no goddess. Tell her, the shafts of Cupid's quiver So from her eyes have pierc'd my liver; And when she holds thee 'twixt her fingers, Say thus your lovesick Strephon lingers.
