Come live with me and be my love,
And ______ will all the pleasures prove,
That Valleys, groves, hills, ______ fields,
Woods, or steepy mountain yields.
And we will ______ upon the Rocks,
Seeing the Shepherds feed their flocks,
______ shallow Rivers to whose falls
Melodious birds sing Madrigals.
______ I will make thee beds of Roses
And a ______ fragrant posies,
A cap of flowers, and a kirtle
______ all with leaves of Myrtle;
A gown made of ______ finest wool
Which from our pretty Lambs we pull;
______ lined slippers for the cold,
With buckles of the ______ gold;
A belt of straw and Ivy buds,
With ______ clasps and Amber studs:
And if these pleasures may ______ move,
Come live with me, and be my love.
______ Shepherds’ Swains shall dance and sing
For thy delight ______ May-morning:
If these delights thy mind may move,
Then ______ with me, and be my love.
