Text and translations
English text
- O mistress mine, where are you roaming?
- O stay and hear, your true love's coming
- That can sing both high and low.
- Trip no further, pretty sweeting;
- Journeys end in lovers' meeting,
- Ev'ry wise man's son doth know.
- What is love? 'Tis not hereafter;
- Present mirth hath present laughter;
- What's to come is still unsure:
- In delay there lies no plenty;
- Then come kiss me, sweet and twenty;
- Youth's a stuff will not endure.
- Lyrics: William Shakespeare - (1564-1616) - from Twelfth Night, Act II, Scene 3.
