Title: In A Garden So Green
Anonymous, pub. Forbes, Cantus, Songs and Fancies, 1662 Scotland
In a garden so green in May morening
heard I my lady pleen of paramours. *complain
Said she, my love so sweet, come you not yet nor yet?
Heght you not me to meet amongst the flowrs? *pledge
Elore, elore, I love my lusty love, elore lo.
The skies upspringis, the dew down dingis,
the sweet larks singis their hours of prime.
Phoebus upsprentius, joy to rest wentis
lost mine intent is and gone's the time,
Elore, elore, I love my lusty love, elore lo.
Danger my dead is, false fortune my feid is, *enemy
langour my leed is, but hope I despair. *dreariness, song
Disdaine my desyris, so strangeness my feir is,
deceit out of weir is, adew I fare.
Elore, elore, I love my lusty love, elore lo.
Then to my lady swyth did I my presence kyth, *swiftly, make
saying, my bird be blyth, am I not yours?
So in my arms two did I the lusty jo
and kisst her tymis mo then night hes hours.
Elore, elore, I love my lusty love, elore lo.
Live in hope, lady faire and repell all dispaire.
Trust not that your true love shall you betrase. *betray
When deceit and languor banished is from your bowre. *refuge
I'll be your paramour and shall you please
Elore, elore, I love my lusty love, elore lo.
