I asked a Thief
I askèd a thief to steal me a peach: He turnèd up his eyes. I ask'd a lithe lady to lie her down: Holy and meek, she cries. As soon as I went An Angel came: He wink'd at the thief, And smil'd at the dame; And without one word said Had a peach from the tree, And still as a maid Enjoy'd the lady. |
