PHILLIS AND COLIN.
Phillis sat upon a bank:
Heigho, what a bank was this!
Painted blossoms blowing rank
Round about, each other kiss.
Heigho, what a bank was this!
Painted blossoms blowing rank
Round about, each other kiss.
Colin came and sat thereby:
Heigho, bravest wight was he!
Came and sat with many a sigh:
Thus fond lovers love to be.
Heigho, bravest wight was he!
Came and sat with many a sigh:
Thus fond lovers love to be.
Dearest maid, I now will tell,
Heigho! all my passion's force,
Deeper than the deepest well,
Swifter than the river's course.
Heigho! all my passion's force,
Deeper than the deepest well,
Swifter than the river's course.
He said yea, and she said nay:
Heigho! love is lost and won,
Raging till the weary day,
Sick of strife lies down fordone.
Heigho! love is lost and won,
Raging till the weary day,
Sick of strife lies down fordone.
Then they smiled and kissed again.
Heigho, Cupid, naughty elf!
If you want another strain,
You may sing it for yourself.
Heigho, Cupid, naughty elf!
If you want another strain,
You may sing it for yourself.
