Forth to the greenwood Yet heigh ho | O |
What 'neath my girdle flutters so | O |

II | A |
- | |
He | B |
Dear my love and O my love | Q |
And O my love so lately | B |
Did we wander yonder grove | S |
And sit awhile sedately | B |
For either you did there conclude | T |
To do at length as I did | U |
Or passion's fashion's turn'd a prude | T |
And troth's an oath derided | U |
- | |
- | |
She | B |
Yea my love and nay my love | Q |
And ask me not to tell love | Q |
While I delay'd an idle day | V |
What 'twixt us there befell love | Q |
Yet either I did sit beside | W |
And do at length as you did | U |
Or my delight is lightly by | A |
An idle lie deluded | U |
