Rhyme Scheme: ABABCCDCA AEAEFFFFA GHGHIIIIA JKJKAAAAA| Love in my bosom like a bee | A |
| Doth suck his sweet | B |
| Now with his wings he plays with me | A |
| Now with his feet | B |
| Within mine eyes he makes his nest | C |
| His bed amidst my tender breast | C |
| My kisses are his daily feast | D |
| And yet he robs me of my rest | C |
| Ah wanton will ye | A |
| - | |
| And if I sleep the percheth he | A |
| With pretty flight | E |
| And makes his pillow of my knee | A |
| The livelong night | E |
| Strike I my lute he tunes the string | F |
| He music plays if so I sing | F |
| He lends me every lovely thing | F |
| Yet cruel he my heart doth sting | F |
| Whist wanton still ye | A |
| - | |
| Else I with roses every day | G |
| Will whip you hence | H |
| And bind you when you long to play | G |
| For your offence | H |
| I'll shut mine eyes to keep you in | I |
| I'll make you fast it for your sin | I |
| I'll count your power not worth a pin | I |
| Alas what hereby shall I win | I |
| If he gainsay me | A |
| - | |
| What if I beat the wanton boy | J |
| With many a rod | K |
| He will repay me with annoy | J |
| Because a god | K |
| Then sit thou safely on my knee | A |
| Then let thy bower my bosom be | A |
| Lurk in mine eyes I like of thee | A |
| O Cupid so thou pity me | A |
| Spare not but play thee | A |
