Thy head, thy sovereign ; one that cares for thee, And for thy maintenance : commits his body To painful labour, both by sea and land; To watch the night in storms, the day in cold, While thou liest warm at home, secure and safe: And craves no other tribute at thy hands, But love, fair looks, and true obedience ; — Too little payment for so great a debt.

O, no, good Kate ; neither art thou the worse For this poor furniture, and mean array.
