My Mistress

My mistress loves no woodcocks
Yet loves to pick the bones;
My mistress loves no jewels
Yet loves the precious stones;
My mistress loves no hunting
Yet loves to hear the horn;
My mistress loves no tables
Yet loves to see men lorn;
My mistress loves no wrestling
Yet loves to take a fall;
My mistress loves not some things,
And yet she loveth all;
My mistress loves a spender
Yet loves she not a waster;
My mistress loves no cuckold,
And yet she loves my master.
