O were I one of the Olympian twelveA
Their godships should pass this into lawB
That when a man doth set himself in toilC
After some beauty veiled far awayD
Each step he took should make his lady's handE
More soft more white and her fair cheek more fairF
And for each briar berry he might eatG
A kiss should bud upon the tree of loveH
And pulp and ripen richer every hourI
To melt away upon the traveller's lipsJ

-
The sun with his great eyeK
Sees not so much as IK
And the moon all silve proudL
Might as well be in a cloudL
-
-
And O the spring the springM
I lead the life of a kingM
Couch'd in the teeming grassN
I spy each pretty lassN
-
-
I look where no one daresO
And I stare where no one staresO
And when the night is nighK
Lambs bleat my lullabyK

Folly's SongP
-
When wedding fiddles are a playingM
Huzza for folly OQ
And when maidens go a MayingM
Huzza for folly OQ
When a milk pail is upsetR
Huzza for folly OQ
And the clothes left in the wetR
Huzza for folly OQ
When the barrel's set abroachS
Huzza for folly OQ
When Kate Eyebrow keeps a coachS
Huzza for folly OQ
When the pig is over roastedT
Huzza for folly OQ
And the cheese is over toastedU
Huzza for folly OQ
When Sir Snap is with his lawyerI
Huzza for folly OQ
And Miss Chap has kiss'd the sawyerI
Huzza for folly OQ
-
-
-
Oh I am frighten'd with most hateful thoughtsV
Perhaps her voice is not a nightingale'sV
Perhaps her teeth are not the fairest pearlW
Her eye lashes may be for aught I knowQ
Not longer than the May fly's small fan hornsV
There may not be one dimple on her handE
And freckles many ah a careless nurseV
In haste to teach the little thing to walkM
May have crumpt up a pair of Dian's legsV
And warpt the ivory of a Juno's neckM

SongM
-
-
The stranger lighted from his steedX
And ere he spake a wordY
He seiz'd my lady's lily handE
And kiss'd it all unheardY
-
-
The stranger walk'd into the hallZ
And ere he spake a wordY
He kiss'd my lady's cherry lipsV
And kiss'd 'em all unheardY
-
-
The stranger walk'd into the bowerI
But my lady first did goQ
Aye hand in hand into the bowerI
Where my lord's roses blowQ
-
-
My lady's maid had a silken scarfA2
And a golden ring had sheS
And a kiss from the stranger as off he wentB2
Again on his fair palfreyS
-
-
-
Asleep O sleep a little while white pearlW
And let me kneel and let me pray to theeS
And let me call Heaven s blessing on thine eyesV
And let me breathe into the happy airF
That doth enfold and touch thee all aboutC2
Vows of my slavery my giving upD2
My sudden adoration my great loveH
