First Line: Dainty, fine, sweet nymph delightful
Last Line: Fa, la, la!
Subject(s): Nymphs


DAINTY, fine, sweet nymph delightful.
While the sun aloft is mounting,
Sit we here our love recounting,
Fa, la, la!
With sugared gloses,
Among these roses.
Fa, la, la!

Why, alas! are you so spiteful,
Dainty nymph, but O too cruel,
Wilt thou kill thy dearest jewel?
Fa, la, la!
Kill then and bliss me,
But first come kiss me:
Fa, la, la!
