Of all the birds that I have heard,
Of all the birds that I have heard,
The nightingale doth bear the bell,
The nightingale doth bear the bell,
Line 30: Line 29:
But if such voices were not dear,
But if such voices were not dear,
I would my mistress sung so clear.
I would my mistress sung so clear.

Of all the birds that I have heard,
The nightingale doth bear the bell,
Whose pretty, fine, sweet, pleasing tunes
All other birds doth far excel.
But if such voices were not dear,
I would my mistress sung so clear.
