<poem> | |||
There is a lady sweet and kind, | |||
Was never a face so pleas'd my mind; | |||
I did but see her passing by, | |||
And yet I love her till I die. | |||
Her graceful motion, her sweet smile, | |||
Her wit, her voice, my heart beguile, | |||
My heart beguile, I know not why, | |||
And yet I love her till I die. | |||
Cupid is winged and doth range, | |||
Her country so my love doth change: | |||
But change she earth or change she sky, | |||
Yet will I love her till I die. | |||

There is a lady sweet and kind,
Was never a face so pleas'd my mind;
I did but see her passing by,
And yet I love her till I die.
Her graceful motion, her sweet smile,
Her wit, her voice, my heart beguile,
My heart beguile, I know not why,
And yet I love her till I die.
Cupid is winged and doth range,
Her country so my love doth change:
But change she earth or change she sky,
Yet will I love her till I die.
