W:My mistress is a hive of bees in yonder flowery garden: 
W:To her they come with loaden thighs, to ease them of their burden.  
W:As under the bee-hive lieth the wax, and under the wax is honey, 
W:So under her waist her belly is placed - and under that, her cunny. 
W:.
W:My mistress is a mine of gold - would that it were her pleasure 
W:To let me dig within her mould and roll among her treasure!  
W:As under the moss the mould doth lie, and under the mould is money,  
W:So under her waist her belly is placed - and under that, her cunny. 
W:.
W:My mistress is a morn of May, which drops of dew down stilleth: 
W:Where'er she goes to sport and play, the dew down sweetly trilleth.  
W:As under the sun the mist doth lie, so under the mist it is sunny,  
W:So under her waist her belly is placed - and under that, her cunny. 
W:.
W:My mistress is a pleasant spring, that yieldeth store of water sweet,  
W:That doth refresh each withered thing lies trodden under feet.  
W:Her belly is both white and soft, and downy as any bunny,  
W:That many gallants wish full oft to play but with her cunny. 
W:.
W:My mistress hath the magic sprays - of late she takes such wondrous pain  
W:That she can pleasing spirits raise, and also lay them down again.  
W:Such power hath my tripping doe, my little pretty bunny,  
W:That many would their lives forego, to play but with her cunny.
