Beauty Sat Bathing By A Spring

Beauty sat bathing by a spring, 
Where fairest shades did hide her;
The winds blew calm, the birds did sing,
The cool streams ran beside her.
My wanton thoughts enticed mine eye 
To see what was forbidden:
But better memory said, fie! 
So, vain desire was chidden. 
Hey nonny nonny O! 
Hey nonny nonny! 

Into a slumber then I fell, 
When fond imagination
Seemed to see, but could not tell, 
Her feature or her fashion.
But ev'n as babes in dreams do smile,
And sometimes fall a-weeping,
So I awaked, as wise this while 
As when I fell a-sleeping:- 
Hey nonny nonny O! 
Hey nonny nonny!
