First Line: I saw a cherry weep, and why?
Last Line: For tincture, wonder at.
Subject(s): Cherries; Fruit


I saw a Cherry weep, and why?
Why wept it? but for shame,
Because my Julia's lip was by,
And did out-red the same.
But pretty Fondling, let not fall
A teare at all for that:
Which Rubies, Corralls, Scarlets, all
For tincture, wonder at.
