XVI.

IF lovely Lass, for Fairing thine, of me

Gold, in this Fair, thou meanest for to have;

Then give me of thy hairs! which golden be.

Give unto me! since thou of me dost crave.

Nor by this bargain, shalt thou loss sustain;

Or ought hereby shalt hindered be, sweet Wench!

Since I, to courteous thee, do give again,

As thankful, gold; for gold in recompence.

Thy treasure, so shall mine be; mine, as thine:

Nor shall th' exchange be worse than gold most fine.
