Original text and translations

English text

1  Dainty fine sweet nymph delightful,  While the Sea aloft is mounting,  Sit we here our loves recounting.  Fa la la.  With sugared gloses,  Among these roses.  Fa la la.

2  Why alas are you so spiteful,  Dainty nymph but O too cruel.  Wilt thou kill thy dearest jewel?  Fa la la.  Kill then and bliss me,  But first come kiss me.  Fa la la.
