Stay, Corydon, thou swain, | |||
Talk not so soon of dying: | |||
What though thy heart be slain, | |||
What though thy love be flying? | |||
She threatens thee, but dares not strike, | |||
Thy nymph is light and shadow-like; | |||
For if thou follow her, she'll fly from thee; | |||
But if thou fly from her, she'll follow thee. | |||

Stay, Corydon, thou swain,
Talk not so soon of dying:
What though thy heart be slain,
What though thy love be flying?
She threatens thee, but dares not strike,
Thy nymph is light and shadow-like;
For if thou follow her, she'll fly from thee;
But if thou fly from her, she'll follow thee.
