The columbine, the nept, The gilliflower well set, The proper violet,
Ennewed your colour Is like the daisy flower After the April shower;
Star of the morrow gray, The blossom on the spray, The fieshest flower of May;
Maidenly demure, Of womanhood the lure ; Wherefore I make you sure,
It were an hevcnly health, It were an endless wealth, A hfe for God himself,
To hear this nightingale, Among the birds bmale, Warbling in the vale, Dug, dug, lug, iug.
Good year and good luck, With chuck, chuck, chuck, chuck '

As midbummcr flower, Gentle as falcon Or hawk of the tower: With solace and gladness, Much mirth and no madness, All good and no badness;
