'Twas in the flowry Spring,
The Linnet, Nightingale and Thrush,
Sate on the fresh green hawthorn Bush,
And Jug, jug, jug, and twee, twee, twee,
Most sweetly they did sing.
[Bombuy and Doppa.]
Bom. All you that either hear or read,
This Ditty is for your Delight:
Dop. 'Tis of a pretty Country Maid,
And how she served a courtly Knight.
'Twas in the flowry Spring, &c.
