I Asked a Thief

I asked a thief to steal me a peach:

He turned up his eyes.

I ask'd a lithe lady to lie her down:

Holy and meek she cries.

As soon as I went

An angel came:

He wink'd at the thief

And smiled at the dame,

And without one word said

Had a peach from the tree,

And still as a maid

Enjoyed the lady.
