UPON PUSS AND HER 'PRENTICE.  EPIG.
by Robert Herrick


PUSS and her 'prentice both at drawgloves play ;
That done, they kiss, and so draw out the day :
At night they draw to supper ; then well fed,
They draw their clothes off both, so draw to bed.



Drawgloves, the game of talking on the fingers.
