And here, kind mate, to thee!
Let's sing a dirge for Saint Hugh's soul,
And down it merrily.

Honest labour bears a lovely face;

Now the nightingale, the pretty nightingale,
The sweetest singer in all the forest's choir,
Entreats thee, sweet Peggy, to hear thy true Love's tale:
Lo! yonder she sitteth, her breast against a briar.

Golden slumbers kiss your eyes,
Smiles awake you when you rise.
Sleep, pretty wantons, do not cry,
And I will sing a lullaby:
Rock them, rock them, lullaby.

(Thomas Dekker (1572?-1632?), British poet. The Pleasant Comedy of Patient Grissell. OBSC. Oxford Book of Sixteenth Century Verse, The. E. K. Chambers, comp. (1932) Oxford University Press.)
