|
|
SIGH no more, ladies, sigh no more, | |
| Men were deceivers ever; | |
| One foot in sea, and one on shore; | |
| To one thing constant never. | |
| Then sigh not so, | 5 |
| But let them go, | |
| And be you blithe and bonny, | |
| Converting all your sounds of woe | |
| Into Hey nonny, nonny. | |
| |
| Sing no more ditties, sing no more | 10 |
| Of dumps so dull and heavy; | |
| The fraud of me was ever so, | |
| Since summer first was leavy. | |
| Then sigh not so, | |
| But let them go, | 15 |
| And be you blithe and bonny, | |
| Converting all your sounds of woe | |
| Into Hey nonny, nonny. | | | |
