English text
- I gave her cakes, and I gave her ale,
- and I gave her sack and sherry,
- kiss'd her once, and I kissed her twice,
- And we were wondrous merry.
- I gave her beads and bracelets fine,
- And I gave her gold, down derry.
- I thought she was afear'd, till she stroked my beard,
- And we were wondrous merry.
- Merry, my heart's merry,
- my cock's merry,
- my spright's merry,
- merry, merry.
