[By a banck as I lay, lay, lay, lay, lay]
[1]
By a banck as I lay, lay, lay, lay, lay,musing on a thing that was past and gone,
hey ho, In the merry month of May,
O some what before the day,
Me thought I heard at the last, the last, the last.
2
O the gentle Nightingale,the Lady and mistres of all Musicke,
She sits downe euer in the dale,
singing with her notes small,
Quauering them wonderfull thicke.
[3]
O for Ioy my spirits were quicke,to heare the sweet Bird how merely she could sing,
And said good Lord defend,
England with thy most holy hand,
And saue Noble Iames our King.
