About the May pole new, With glee and meriment,
While as the Bagpipe tooted it.
Thirsis and Cloris, fine together footed it, Fa la la.
And to the wanton Instrument
still they went toe and froe (both) and finely flaunted it,
And then both met againe, and then And thus they chaunted it. Fa la la.

The Shepherds and Nimphs them round enclosed had,
Wondring with what facilitie,
About they turnd them in such strange agilitie. Fa la la.
And still when they vnlosed had,
With words full of delight they gently kissed them,
And thus sweetly to sing they neuer missed them.
