Hey troly loly lo
Peter Warlock
"Hey, troly loly lo, maid, whither go you?"
"I go to the meadow to milk my cow."
"Then at the meadow I will you meet,
To gather the flowers both rare and sweet."
"Nay, God forbid, that may not be!
I wis my mother then shall us see."
"Now in this meadow fair and green
We may us sport and not be seen;
Sith I love you, love me again;
Let us make one, though we be twain."
"Nay, in good faith, I'll not mell with you!
I pray you, Sir, let me go milk my cow."
"Then for this once I shall you spare;
But the next time ye must beware,
How in the meadow ye milk your cow.
Adieu, farewell, and kiss me now!"
"Nay, God forbid, that may not be!
I wis my mother then shall us see."
