[Now is my Cloris fresh as May]

Now is my Cloris fresh as May,
All clad in green & flowers gay, Fa la la
Oh might I thinck August were neer,
Yt haruest ioye might soone apeer. Fa la la
But shee keeps May throughout the yeere,
And August neuer comes the nere,
Yet will I hope though shee bee May,
August will come an other day. Fa la la.
