But she alas is angrie still,
Which sheweth but a womans
will:
She bites the lippe and cries
fie, fie,
And kissing sweetly away she
doth flie.
Yet sure her lookes bewraies
content
And cunningly her bra[w]les
are meant:
As louers use to play and
sport,
When time and leisure is too
short.”
On p. 373 Philautus gives another quotation from the same song.
P. 340. “The fryer was in the—.” Mr. Ebsworth writes:—“This song is extant among the Pepysian Ballads (the missing word is equivalent to ’Jakes’): original of ‘The Friar in the Well.’”
