O sweet, alas, what say you?
O sweet, alas, what say you?
Ay me, that face discloses.
Ay me, that face discloses
The Scarlet blush of sweet vermilion Roses,
The scarlet blush of sweet vermilion roses.
and yet alas,
And yet, alas,
I know not if such a crimson staining  
I know not if such a crimson staining  
be for love or disdaining.  
be for love or disdaining.

O sweet, alas, what say you?
Ay me, that face discloses
The scarlet blush of sweet vermilion roses.
And yet, alas,
I know not if such a crimson staining
be for love or disdaining.
But if of love it grow not,
be it disdain conceived,
to see us of love's fruits so long bereaved.
