Thus sings my dearest jewel;
Thus sings my dearest jewel:
In love, delay is cruel.
In love, delay is cruel.
Or Come and kiss me quickly,
Or come and kiss me quickly,
Or say thou dost not love me!
Or say thou dost not love me!
Fa la la.
Fa la la.


Now sings my lovely treasure,
Now sings my lovely treasure:
In love, a kiss is a harmless pleasure!
In love, a kiss is a harmless pleasure!
Fa la la.
Fa la la.
