<poem> | |||
Come, pretty wag, and sing; | |||
The sun's all-ripening wing | |||
Fans up the wanton spring. | |||
O let us both go chaunt it! | |||
For now fresh May doth flaunt it! | |||
Then with reports most sprightly | |||
Trip with thy voice most lightly, | |||
O sing, O sing so wittily, | |||
For now, the cuckoo sings, | |||
Cuckoo, cuckoo! | |||
And echo doth rebound | |||
And dally with the sound. | |||

Come, pretty wag, and sing;
The sun's all-ripening wing
Fans up the wanton spring.
O let us both go chaunt it!
For now fresh May doth flaunt it!
Then with reports most sprightly
Trip with thy voice most lightly,
O sing, O sing so wittily,
For now, the cuckoo sings,
Cuckoo, cuckoo!
And echo doth rebound
And dally with the sound.
