English text

My little pretty one!
My softly winning one!
Oh! thou’rt a merry one!
And playful as can be.

With a beck thou comest anon;
In a trice, too, thou art gone,
And I must sigh alone,
But sighs are lost upon thee.

Art thou my smiling one,
Art thou my pouting one,
Art thou my teasing one,
A goddess, elf, or grace?

With a frown thou woundest my heart,
With a smile thou healest the smart;
Why play the tyrant’s part
With such an innocent face.

Early 17th Century
