412 Two goodly lovers dwelt,1 one Pyramus By name was call'd, the other Thisbe Hee of [all] men the fairest, whilst shee was 'mongst all those Easterne Dames the sprusest lasse. But churlish Parents so their Loves did crosse That they poore wights could only through a wall Their amorous soules breath out, where twas agreed That to a shadie tree by Ninus tombe They should repayre, and at midnight houre Solace themselves under its pleasant bower.
