English text

Dainty fine sweet Nymph delightful,
while the Sea aloft is mounting,
Sit we here our loves recounting.
Fa la la la la la la.
Why alas are you so spiteful,
dainty Nymph but O too cruel.
Wilt thou kill thy dearest jewel?
Fa la la la la la la.

With sugared gloses,
Among these Roses.
Fa la la la la la.
Kill then and bliss me,
But first come kiss me.
Fa la la la la la.
