“There, in a meadow by the rivers side, A flocke of Nymphes I chaunced to espy, 20 All lovely daughters of the flood⟳ thereby, With goodly greenish locks, all loose untyde, As each had bene a bryde; And each one had a little wicker basket, Made of fine twigs, entrayled* curiously, 25 In which they gathered flowers to fill⟳ their flasket**, And with fine fingers cropt full feateously@ The tender stalkes on hye.”

“Take⟳ a Sturgeon, draw⟳ it, and part it down the back in equal sides and rands, put⟳ it in a tub into water and salt, and wash⟳ it from the blood and slime, bind⟳ it up with tape or packthred, and boil it in a vessel that will contain⟳ it, in water, vinegar, and salt, boil it not too tender; being finely boil'd take⟳ it up, and being pretty cold, lay⟳ it on a clean⟳ flasket or tray till it be through cold, then pack⟳ it up close⟳.”
