On a Fair Morning as I Came by the Way
- by Thomas Morley 26
On a fair morning, as I came by the way,Met I with a merry maid in the merry month of May,
When a sweet love sings his lovely lay,
And every bird upon the bush bechirps it up so gay.
With a heave and ho! with a heave and ho!
Thy wife shall be thy master, I trow.
Sing care away, care away, let the world go!
Hey, lustily, all in a row, all in a row,
Sing care away, care away, let the world go!
See, See, Mine Own Sweet Jewel
- by Thomas Morley 23
See, see, mine own sweet jewel,See what I have here for my darling:
A robin-redbreast and a starling.
These I give both, in hope to move thee--
And yet thou say'st I do not love thee.
