[XXVII. What doth my pretie dearling]

What doth my pretie dearling

What doth my pretie dearling, my pretie dearling, what doth my pretie dearling? what doth what doth my song & chaūting, that they sing not of her, the prayse and vaunting? to her I giue my violets, to her I giue my violets; & garland sweetly smelling, for to crowne her sweet lockes pure gold excellng, to her I giue my violetts, & garland sweetly smelling, for to crowne her sweet locks pure gold excelling, for to crowne her sweet locks pure gold excelling.
