Come live with me and be my love,
\nAnd we will all the pleasures prove
\nThat valleys, groves, hills, and fields,
\nWoods, or steepy mountain yields.
\nAnd we will sit upon rocks,
\nSeeing the shepherds feed their flocks,
\nBy shallow rivers to whose falls
\nMelodious birds sing madrigals.<\/p>\n
And I will make thee beds of roses
\nAnd a thousand fragrant poises,
\nA cap of flowers, and a kirtle
\nEmbroidered all with leaves of myrtle;<\/p>\n
A gown made of the finest wool
\nWhich from our pretty lambs we pull;
\nFair lined slippers for the cold,
\nWith buckles of the purest gold;<\/p>\n
A belt of straw and ivy buds,
\nWith coral clasps and amber studs;
\nAnd if these pleasures may thee move,
\nCome live with me, and be my love.<\/p>\n
The shepherds’s swains shall dance and sing
\nFor thy delight each May morning:
\nIf these delights thy mind may move,
\nThen live with me and be my love.<\/p>\n
