| Shortly if the kind gods will favour thee | D |
| If thou dost bring with thee a del'cate messe | C |
| An olio or so a pretty lass | C |
| Brisk wine sharp tales all sorts of drollery | E |
| These if thou bringst I say along with thee | D |
| You shall feed highly friend for know the ebbs | C |
| Of my lank purse are full of spiders webs | C |
| But then again you shall receive clear love | H |
| Or what more grateful or more sweet may prove | I |
| For with an ointment I will favour thee | D |
| My Venus's and Cupids gave to me | D |
| Of which once smelt the gods thou wilt implore | E |
| Fabullus that they'd make thee nose all ore | E |
