English text
- On a time the amorous Silvy
- Said to her shepherd, "Sweet, how do ye?
- Kiss me this once and then God be with ye,
- My sweetest dear!
- Kiss me this once and then God be with ye,
- For now the morning draweth near."
- With that, her fairest bosom showing,
- Op'ning her lips, rich perfumes blowing,
- She said, "Now kiss me and be going,
- My sweetest dear!
- Kiss me this once and then be going,
- For now the morning draweth near."
- With that her shepherd waked from sleeping,
- And spying where the day was peeping,
- He said, "Now take my soul in keeping,
- My sweetest dear!
- Kiss me and take my soul in keeping,
- Since I must go, now day is near."
- Lyrics: Anonymous 17th Century - from John Attye's (fl. 1622) First Book of Airs, published 1622.
