ALl in the Moneth of May, when all things blossome, As in my bed I lay, sleepe it grew loathsome: Up I rose and did walke over yon mountaines, Through Medows, and through Dales, over rocks and fountaines. I heard a voyce to say, sweetheart come cheere me, Thou hast beene long away, Laddy lye neere me. Down by yon River side, and surging Billowes, A pleasant Grove I espide, well set with willowes, In it a shepheardesse, singing most clearely, And still her note it was, Laddy lye neere me. Come away, doe not stay, sweetheart and cheere me: Thou hast beene long away, dearest draw neere me. Sweetheart thou stayest too long, Phoebe is watching, Aurora with her steed, is fast aproaching, She doth her Chariot mount, which much doth feare me, Each houre a yeare I count, till thou lye neere me. Come away, doe not stay, sweet-heart and cheere me, Thou hast beene long away, [dear]est draw neer[e me.]
Hymen keeps Holy day, Love take thy pleasure, Cupid hath throwne away, both Bow and Quiver: Boreas doth gently blow, least I should feare him, Yet dare I not to stay, alone too neere him. Come away doe not stay, sweet-heart and cheere me, Thou hast bene long away, Laddy lye neere me. Do not Adonis like, sweetheart flye from me, For carefull I will be, as doth become me, Both of my flocke and thine, whilst they are feeding, Deere is my love to thee, as is exceeding. Come away doe not stay, sweet-heart and cheere me, Thou hast beene long away, Laddy lye neere me. I may sing Welladay my joyes are ended, The houre of my approach, is almost spended. My Parents will me misse, and swaines will jeere me, Thus still her note it was, Laddy lye neere me. Come away, do not stay, sweet-heart and cheere me Th[ou] h[a]s[t beene long away, Laddy lye neere me.]
