UNDER the greenwood tree | |
| Who loves to lie with me, | |
| And turn his merry note | |
| Unto the sweet bird’s throat, | |
| Come hither, come hither, come hither: | 5 |
| Here shall he see | |
| No enemy | |
| But winter and rough weather. | |
| |
| Who doth ambition shun, | |
| And loves to live i’ the sun, | 10 |
| Seeking the food he eats, | |
| And pleas’d with what he gets, | |
| Come hither, come hither, come hither: | |
| Here shall he see | |
| No enemy | 15 |
| But winter and rough weather. | |
| |
| If it do come to pass, | |
| That any man turn ass, | |
| Leaving his wealth and ease, | |
| A stubborn will to please, | 20 |
| Ducdàme, ducdàme, ducdàme: | |
| Here shall he see | |
| Gross fools as he, | |
| An if he will come to me. | | | | |
