English text
What saith my dainty darling,
shall I now your love obtain
Fa la la.
This crystal running fountain
in his language saith, “Come love”.
Fa la la.
Long time I sued for grace,
And grace you granted me,
When time should serve and place,
Can any fitter be?
Fa la la.
The birds, the trees, the fields,
Else none can us behold,
This bank soft lying yields,
And saith, “Nice fools, be bold!”
Fa la la.
