¶Liedtext

So long as I have served And met with little favour, My heart hath never swerved, My faith it will not waver. Yet she flouteth me, She scouteth me, She doubteth me also, And to all my piteous plea, One answer giveth she: No, no, no, no,no! Hey nonney, nonney, no! Now fain would I fore-go And fain would I forget her, But that, forsooth, I know The world doth hold no better. In the chalices Of palaces Doth sweeter fount e’er flow Than the lovely light that lies In her dewy-fringed eyes? No, no, no, no,no! Hey nonney, nonney, no! And thus, to win her grace, My patient heart it striveth, Content to bide a space Until the day arriveth When she flouteth me, She scouteth me, She doubteth me no mo’; And when I, grown doubly dear, This word shall never hear: No, no, no, no,no! Hey nonney, nonney, no!
