Said she, my love so sweet, come you not yet nor yet? Heght you not me to meet amongst the flowrs? Elore elore, Elore elore. I love my lusty love, Elore lo. The skies upspringis, the dew down dingis, the sweet larks singis their hours of prime. Phoebus upsprent is, joy to rest went is lost mine intent is and gone's the time. Then to my lady swyth did I my presence kyth, saying, my bird be blyth, am I not yours? Then in my arms two did I the lusty jo and kisst her tymis mo than night has hours. Elore elore, Elore elore. I love my lusty love, Elore lo.
