Though Amaryllis dance in green

Language: English

 Though Amaryllis dance in green
 like fairy queen
 and sing full clear
 Corinna can with smiling cheer,
 yet sith their eyes make hearts so sore,
 hey ho, chill love no more.

 Her loving looks, her beauty bright
 is such delight
 that all in vain
 I love to like and lose my gain
 for her that thanks me not therefor,
 hey ho, chill love no more.

 Ah wanton eyes, my friendly foes
 and cause of woes,
 your sweet desire
 breeds flames of ice and freeze in fire;
 ye scorn to see me weep so sore,
 hey ho, chill love no more.
