O willow,willow,willow!
Sing,O the green willow shall be my garl-and.
"Let love no more boast him in palace or bower;
O willow,willow,willow!
For women are trothless,and fleet in an hour.
O willow,willow,willow!
O willow,willow,willow!
Sing,O the green willow shall be my garl-and.
"But what helps complaining?In vain I complain:
O willow,willow,willow!
I must patiently suffer her scorn and disdain.
O willow,willow,willow!
O willow,willow,willow!
Sing,O the green willow shall be my garl-and.
"Come,all you forsaken,and sit down by me,O willow,willow,willow!
He that plains of his false love,mine's falser than she.
O willow,willow,willow!
O willow,willow,willow!
Sing,O the green willow shall be my garl-and.
"The willow wreath wear I,since my love did fleet;
O willow,willow,willow!
A garland for lovers forsaken most meet.
O willow,willow,willow!
O willow,willow,willow!
Sing,O the green willow shall be my garl-and."
PART THE SECOND.
"Low laid by my sorrow,begot by disdain;
O willow,willow,willow!
Against her too cruel,still still I complain,O willow,willow,willow!
O willow,willow,willow!
Sing,O the green willow shall be my garl-and!
"O love too injurious,to wound my poor heart!
O willow,willow,willow!
To suffer the triumph,and joy in my smart:
O willow,willow,willow!
O willow,willow,willow!
Sing,O the green willow shall be my garl-and.
"O willow,willow,willow!the willow garl-and,O willow,willow,willow!
A sign of her falseness before me doth stand:
O willow,willow,willow!
O willow,willow,willow!
Sing,O the green willow shall be my garl-and.
"As here it doth bid to despair and to die,O willow,willow,willow!
