Laye by awhile your pipes, & rest | Since both have heare deserved the best | 2 To get thy steerling, once again | I'le play thee such another strain | That thou shalt swear my pipe do's raigne | Over thine oat as Soveraigne | Chor. And Lallage shall tell by this | Whose nowe the prize and wager is"
