THE FIRST LOVERS' SONG (Act II, Scene vii, after the Morris Dance)
O it is June and the warm breeze blow,
So frolic and joy, in the trees trees trees,
For summer will pass and soon will go,
And winter's snows shall freeze freeze freeze.
So say pretty lady, with eyes so green,
While summer is here and the weather is fine,
Wilt be my queen, my queen queen queen
And sit with me in the warm sun shine?
THE SECOND LOVERS' SONG (At the end of the play)
Cold is the wind and wet is the rain,
With a Hey nonny nonny and a derry down down
Ill is the weather that bringeth no gain
Ho well done, with a jolly jack crown.
Send round the punchbowl, steaming hot,
With a Hey nonny nonny and a derry down down
When the snow's outside I'd rather be not
Ho well done and a jolly jack crown
Pray to Saint Jude for all good speed
With a Hey nonny nonny and a derry down down
That your wherry is saved from mischief and reed
Ho well done and jolly jack crown
