Beauty sat bathing by a spring, Where fairest shades did hide her;The winds blew calm, the birds did sing, The cool streams ran beside her.My wanton thoughts enticed mine eye To see what was forbidden:But better memory said, fie! So, vain desire was chidden. Hey nonny nonny O! Hey nonny nonny!
Into a slumber then I fell, When fond imaginationSeemed to see, but could not tell, Her feature or her fashion.But ev'n as babes in dreams do smile, And sometimes fall a-weeping,So I awaked, as wise this while As when I fell a-sleeping:- Hey nonny nonny O! Hey nonny nonny!
