W:I care not for these ladies
W:That must be wooed and prayed:
W:Give me kind Amarillis,
W:The wanton country maid.
W:Nature art disdaineth;
W:her beauty is her own.
W:Her, when we court and kiss,
W:She cries, forsooth, let go,
W:But when we come where comfort is,
W:She never will say no.

W:If I love Amarillis,
W:She gives me fruit and flowers:
W:But if we love these ladies,
W:We must give golden showers.
W:Give them gold that sell love;
W:give me the nut-brown lass,
W:Who when we court and kiss,
W:She cries, forsooth, let go,
W:But when we come where comfort is,
W:She never will say no.

W:3
W:These ladies must have pillows,
W:And beds by strangers wrought:
W:Give me a bower of willows,
W:Of moss and leaves unbought,
W:And fresh Amarillis,
W:with milk and honey fed,
W:Who when we court and kiss,
W:She cries, forsooth, let go,
W:But when we come where comfort is,
W:She never will say no.
