Desdemona:
The poor soul sat sighing by a sycamore tree,
Sing all a green willow:
Her hand on her bosom, her head on her knee,
Sing willow, willow, willow:
The fresh streams ran by her, and murmur'd her moans;
Sing willow, willow, willow;
Her salt tears fell from her, and soften'd the stones;
[Lay by these:--]1
Sing willow, willow, willow;
[Prithee, hie thee; he'll come anon:-- ]1
Sing all a green willow [must be my garland.]1
Sing all a green willow;
[Let nobody blame him; his scorn I approve,-- ]1
Nay, that's not next.--Hark! who is't that knocks?
Emilia:
[ It's the wind. ]1
Desdemona:
Sing willow, willow, willow,
I call'd my love false love; but what said he then?
Sing willow, willow, willow:
[If I court moe women, you'll couch with moe men!]1
Sing willow, willow, willow.
