English text
To shorten winter's sadness,
See where the nymphs with gladness:
Fa la la.
Disguised, all are coming,
Right wantonly a-mumming:
Fa la la.
Though masks encloud their beauty,
yet give the eye her duty,
Fa la la la...
When Heav'n is dark it shineth,
and unto love inclineth:
Fa la la la...
