SONG XVIII.
I
Would God it were Holy-day,Hey derry down, down derry;
That with my Love I might go play,
With oh! my heart is merry:
My whole delight
Is in her sight:
Would God I had her Company, her Company,
Hey down down, derry derry down.
Hey down down, derry derry down.
II
My Love is fine, my Love is fair,Hey derry down, &c.
No Maid may well with her compare
In Kent or Canterbury;
From her my Love
Shall ne'r remove:
Would God I had, &c.
III
To see her laugh, to see her smile,Hey derry down, &c.
Doth all my sorrows quite beguile,
And makes my heart full merry;
60
Where she doth go:
Would God I had, &c.
IV
When I do meet her on the Green,Aey derry down, &c.
Methinks she looks like Beauties Queen,
Which makes my heart full merry;
Then I her greet
With kisses sweet:
Would God I had, &c.
V
My Love comes not of churlish kind,Hey derry down, &c.
But bears a loving courteous mind,
Which makes my heart full merry;
She is not coy,
She is my Joy:
Would God I had, &c.
VI
Till Sunday comes, farewell, my Dear,Hey derry down, &c.
When we do meet, we'll make good Cheer,
And then we will be merry.
62
I will love Thee,
And still delight thy Company, thy Company,
Hey down down, derry derry down.
Hey down down, derry derry down.
