YOu Gallants that resort To Hide Parke or Totnam Court, To recreate, And to elevate your sences when they are out of date, Come listen to my Song, Which doth belong to the Nightingales sweet tongue: Tis Musicke rare To heare this little, pretty, dulcid, dainty Philomel how she makes the Woods for to ring, Sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet, Jug, jug, jug, jug, sweet, jug, jug, jug, jug, the Nightingale doth sing. The Courtiers in their pride, Walking by the greene Wood side, They doe much admire, When they heare the Quire, of little Birds whose notes aspire, Above all the rest, They fancie best the Nightingales sweet breast, For she doth straine Her little pretty, dulcid, dainty, pleasant throat, with musicke fit for a King, Sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet, Jug, jug, jug, jug, sweet, jug, jug, jug, jug, the Nightingale doth sing.
The Citizens would faine Heare Philomels sweet straine, But that they feare When they come there, the curious constant Note to heare, And therefore they refuse And will not use, the Woods if they can chuse, But yet sometimes, This little, pretty, dulcid, dainty dilly, They delight to heare in the Spring, Sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet, Jug, jug, jug, jug, sweet, jug, jug, jug, jug, the Nightingale doth sing. The Prentices doe stray, Upon the first of May, To meet their Loves In the gay greene Groves, where every one their fancie proves, And with Loves delight, From morne till night, they feed their appetite; And while they wooe This little, pretty, dulcid, dainty creature, her musicke to them doth bring, Sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet, Jug, jug, jug, jug, sweet, jug, jug, jug, jug, the Nightingale doth sing.

THe honest labouring Swaine, To extenuate his paine When hee doth plod To his worke abroad, His Hay, or Corne, or Wood to load, It doth joy his heart, At Plough or Cart, to heare the curious part, Which among the Quire, This little pretty, dulcid, dainty Quirister doth beare, this delight doth bring; Sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet, Jug, jug, jug, jug, sweet, jug, jug, jug, jug, the Nightingale doth sing. The Country Milke-maids sweet, When they goe to milke their Neat, In a Summers day, In June or May, delight to walke ith Medowes gay, They doe thinke it long, To heare a Song, from Philomels sweet tongue, In April they Expect this little, pretty, dulcid, dainty bird, when she first proclaimes the Spring, Sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet, Jug, jug, jug, jug, sweet, jug, jug; jug, jug, the Nightingale doth sing.
Both men and women goe, To the greene Wood on a row, Both old and young Walke in a throng, both Lads and Lasses march along, In a Sympathy, For company, with mirth and jollity. It is not for Nuts, But to heare this little, prety, dulcid, dainty Musician how she makes the Woods for to ring, Sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet, Jug, jug, jug, jug, sweet, jug, jug, jug, jug, the Nightingale doth sing. Thus Country, City and Court, Unto the Woods resort, To please their minds, Both Lords and Hinds, all sorts according to their kinds, Walke to take delight, Both morne and night; and as they please their sight, Their eares are pleased, To heare this little, pretty, dulcid, dainty Messenger what wisht for newes she doth bring, Sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet, Jug, jug, jug, jug, sweet, jug, jug, jug, jug, the Nightingale doth sing.
