¶Lyrics / Text

It was upon a springtide day, When all the world was fresh and gay, And birds did sing to drive away Foul melancholie. I met Aminta in the grove, But nought of earth or Heaven above, Not e'en the power of mighty love Could draw her to me. No more will I the nymph pursue, I'll rather turn her o'er to you, Go therefore try what you can do, To cure her follie. But if you fail, then do not grieve; The flinty-hearted fair one leave, Come back again to us at eve, And we'll be jolly.
