Boyet: No my complet Maister, but to Iigge off a tune at
. the tongues ende, canarie to it with your feete, humour it
. with turning vp your eylids, sigh a note and sing a note som-
. time through the throate, if you swallowed loue with sing-
. ing loue sometime through: nose as if you snufft vp loue by
. smelling loue with your hat penthouse like ore the shop of
. your eyes, with your armes crost on your thinbellies doblet
. like a Rabbet on a [S]pit, or your handes in yo[U]r pocket like a
. man afte[R] the olde painting, and k[E]epe not too long in one
