john skelton - my darling dear, my daisy flower - richard mitchley lyrics

with lullay, lullay, like a child
thou sleepèst too long, thou art beguiled!
‘my darling dear, my daisy flower
let me,’ quoth he, ‘lie in your lap.’
‘lie still,’ quoth she, ‘my paramour
lie still hardily1, and take a nap.’
his head was heavy, such was his hap
all drowsy, dreaming, drowned in sleep
that of his love he took no keep
with hey, lullay, etc

with ba, ba, ba, and bas, bas, bas!
she cherished him both cheek and chin
that he wist never where he was;
he had forgotten all deadly sin!
he wanted wit her love to win:
he trusted her payment and lost all his pay;
she lеft him sleeping and stale2 away
with hey, lullay, etc

thе rivers rough, the waters wan;
she sparèd not to wet her feet
she waded over, she found a man
that halsèd3 her heartily and kissed her sweet;
thus after her cold she caught a heat
‘my lief,4’ she said, ‘rowteth5 in his bed;
iwys6 he hath an heavy head,’
with hey, lullay, etc
what dreamest thou, drunkard, drowsy pate?
thy l*st and liking is from thee gone;
thou blinkard blowboll7, thou wakèst too late;
behold thou liest, luggard, alone!
well may thou sigh, well may thou groan
to deal with her so cowardly
ywis, pole*hatchet,8 she blearèd thine eye!
