NOw that bright Phoebus his rays doth display warm Zephirus blows with a gentler gale, Nights they grow shorter to lengthen the day, and Wood-nymphs do trip it ore hill & ore dale: The Fawnes and the Satyrs Nimbly cut Capers, And dance Levaltors round in a ring, Then let us bear a part And with a joyful heart Deck flowry Garlands to welcome the spring. Floras fine Tapestry now doth adorn, the earth with a Livery pleasant to view, Trees they do blossome which winter had torn, and meadows are deckt in a very rare hue: The Fairies are tripping And Lambs are skipping, Pretty birds chirping in the Woods sing: Then let us bear a part, And with a joyful heart Deck flowry garlands to welcome the spring
With sweet smelling flowers that sence to delight, the fields are bespangled like stars in the skies, With Cowslips and Primroses, yellow & white and other rare colours to please mortal eies; The Daffadown-Dilly Violet and Lilly And Tulips lovely pleasure do bring Then let us bear a part, And with a joyful heart Deck flowry garlands to welcome the spring. Harke how the Nightingale tuneth her notes her tender breast leaning against a sharp thorn The thrush & the blackbird with their prety throats doth chant forth their melody evening & morn: The Cuckow well known In City and Town, Her constant old tone she sweetly doth sing: Then let us bear a part And with a joyful heart Deck flowry garlands to welcom the spring.

NOw pretty maidens delights for to walk abroad in the meadows so pleasant & green Whilst with their lovers they prattle and talk, and pick up the flowers so gay to be seen: Of which they make Posies In the green closes, Decked with Roses home for to bring: Then let us bear a part And with a joyful heart Deck flowry garlands to welcom the spring. Pretty sweet Betty walks out with her love, rejoycing that Summer is drawing so near, Whilest Dicky doth call her his Turtle Dove and vows that no other but she is his dear: Thus with their courting And lovely sporting They are consorting whilst the birds sing: Then let us, etc. Nanny doth rise in the morning betimes to meet her beloved all in a fair grove, Where he is composing of sonnets and rimes, to set forth her praise and to welcome his love: Her body is slender And her heart tender, He doth commend her for every thing: Then let us, etc.
Dolly the Dairy maid smugs up her self and takes up her milk-pale to trace in the [dew,] In hopes to meet Roger who scorns to be ba[se] she often hath tryd him and still he provd t[rue;] But oh what a jumbling And what a tumbling, All without grumbling love hath his swing[:] Then let us, etc. Now is the time that all creatures rejoyce, by nature they know when the spring doth ap[pear] They lovingly couple and freely make choice before the hot Summer approacheth too nea[r:] Let us take pleasure Whilst we have leasure Least such a pleasure chance to take wing, Then let us, etc. Trim up your Arbors and deck up your bow[ers,] for this is a time to be merry and glad, Hang up your garlands & strow your sweet flow[-ers] and let not a lover once seem to be sad: For wele go a Maying With musick playing, Cupid obeying, love is a King: Then let us bear a part And with a joyful heart Deck flowry garlands to welcom the spring.
