My Lord Ascanius, ye must goe with me. (Cupid: Whither must I goe? Ile stay with my mother.) No, thou shalt goe with me vnto my house, I haue an Orchard that hath store of plums, Browne Almonds, Seruises, ripe Figs and Dates, Dewberries, Apples, yellow Orenges, A garden where are Bee hiues full of honey, Musk-roses, and a thousand sort of flowers, And in the midst doth run a siluer streame, Where thou shalt see the red gild fishes leape, White Swannes, and many louely water fowles: Now speake Ascanius, will ye goe or no? (Cupid: Come come Ile goe, how farre hence is your house?) But hereby child, we shall get thither straight.
