“Her feet beneath her petticoat
Like little mice stole in and out,
As if they feared the light;
But oh, she dances such a way!
No sun upon an Easter-day
Is half so fine a sight.”

“Oh for some honest lover's ghost,
Some kind unbodied post
Sent from the shades below!

Whether the nobler chaplets wear
Those that their mistress' scorn did bear,
Or those that were used kindly.”
