328 Faricies and Fantasticks.An Eccho.Come Eccho I thee summon,Tell me truly what is Woman ?If worne, she is a feather,If woo'd she's frosty weather ;If wonne, the winde not slighter :If weigh'd the Moon's not lighter :If lain withall, she's apish :If not laine with, she's snappish,Come Eccho I thee summon,Tell me once more what is Woman ?If faire, she's coy in courting,If witty, loose in sporting,If ready, she's but cloathing,If naked, she's just nothing,If not belov'd, she horns thee ;If lov'd too well, she scorns thee.The Eccho still replyed,But still me thought she lyed.Then for my Mistresse sake,I againe reply did make.If worn, she is a Jewell,If woo'd, she is not cruell,If wonne, no rock is surer,If weigh'd, no gold is purer,If laine withall, delicious ;If not, yet no way vitious.False Eccho go, you lye.See your errours I discry.
