¶Lyrics / Text

Though Amarillis daunce in green, like Fayrie Queene, and sing full cleere, Corina can with smiling cheer: yet since their eyes make hart so sore, hey ho, chill* love no more. My sheepe are lost for want of food, and I so wood: that all the day, I sit and watch a heardmaid gaye: who laughes to see mee sigh so sore, hey ho, chill love no more. Her loving lookes, her beautie bright, is such delight: that all in vaine, I love to like, and lose my gaine: for her that thanks mee not therefore, hey ho, chill love no more. Ah wanton eyes my friendly foes, and cause of woes: your sweet desire, breedes flames of ice and freese in fire: yee skorne to see mee weep so sore, hey ho, chill love no more. Love yee who list I force him not, sith God it wot, the more I wayle, the lesse my sighes and teares prevaile, what shall I doe but say therefore, hey ho, chill love no more.
