English text
- Some ask'd me where the rubies grew,
- And nothing [I did]* say,
- But with my finger pointed to
- The lips of Julia.
- Some ask'd how pearls did grow, and where?
- Then spake I to my girl,
- To part her lips, and show me there
- The quarelets of pearl.
- One ask'd me where the roses grew,
- I bade him not go seek;
- But forthwith made my Julia show
- A bud on either cheek.
- Notes: * - Parry substitutes: "did I"
- Lyrics: Robert Herrick - ( c 1591 - 1674 )
