| | | LOVE 1 for such a cherry lip | |
| Would be glad to pawn his arrows; | |
| Venus here to take a sip | |
| Would sell her doves and team of sparrows. | |
| But they shall not so; | 5 |
| Hey nonny, nonny no! | |
| None but I this lip must owe; 2 | |
| Hey nonny, nonny no! | |
| |
| Did Jove see this wanton eye, | |
| Ganymede must wait 3 no longer; | 10 |
| Phœbe here one night did lie, 4 | |
| Would change her face and look much younger. | |
| But they shall not so; | |
| Hey nonny, nonny no! | |
| None but I this lip must owe; | 15 |
| Hey nonny, nonny no! | |
