¶Lyrics / Text

I asked a thief to steal me a peach: He turn'd up his eyes. I ask'd a lithe lady to lie her down: Holy and meek she cries. As soon as I went an angel came: He wink'd at the thief And smil'd at the dame, And without one word spoke Had a peach from the tree, And 'twixt earnest and joke Enjoy'd the Lady.
