IV + 

Another part of the forest. + 

Enter Gaoler’s Daughter. + 

Daughter + 

I am very cold; and all the stars are out too, + 

The little stars, and all that look like aglets: + 

The sun has seen my folly. Palamon! + 

Alas, no! he’s in heaven.⁠—Where am I now?⁠— + 

Yonder’s the sea, and there’s a ship; how’t tumbles! + 

And there’s a rock lies watching under water; + 

Now, now, it beats upon it; now, now, now, + 

There’s a leak sprung, a sound one; how they cry! + 

Spoon her before the wind, you’ll lose all else; + 

Up with a course or two, and tack about, boys: + 

Good night, good night; ye’re gone.⁠—I’m very hungry: + 

Would I could find a fine frog! he would tell me + 

News from all parts o’ the world; then would I make + 

A careck of a cockle-shell, and sail + 

By east and north-east to the king of Pigmies, + 

For he tells fortunes rarely. Now, my father, + 

Twenty to one, is truss’d up in a trice + 

To-morrow morning: I’ll say never a word. Sings. + 

For I’ll cut my green coat a foot above my knee; + 

And I’ll clip my yellow locks an inch below mine e’e: + 

Hey, nonny, nonny, nonny. + 

He s’ buy me a white cut, forth for to ride, + 

And I’ll go seek him through the world that is so wide: + 

Hey nonny, nonny, nonny. + 

O for a prick now, like a nightingale, + 

To put my breast against! I shall sleep like a top else. Exit. + 
