[Verse 1] In a garden so green, in a May morening Heard I my lady pleen of paramours Said she, "My love so sweet, come you not yet, nor yet? Heght you not me to meet amongst the flowrs?" [Chorus] Elore, elore Elore, elore I love my lusty love Elore lo [Verse 2] The skies upspringis, the dew down dingis The sweet larks singis their hours of prime Phoebus upsprentis, joy to rest wentis Lost mine intent is and gone's the time [Chorus] Elore, elore Elore, elore I love my lusty love Elore lo [Verse 3] Danger my dead is, false fortune my feid is Langour my leed is, but hope I despair Disdaine my desyris, so strangeness my feir is Deceit out of weir is, adew I fare [Chorus] Elore, elore Elore, elore I love my lusty love Elore lo [Verse 4] 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 my lusty jo And kisst her tymis mo then night hes hours [Chorus] Elore, elore Elore, elore I love my lusty love Elore lo [Verse 5] Live in hope, lady faire and repell all dispaire Trust not that your true love shall you betrase When deceit and languor banished is from your bowre I'll be your paramour and shall you please [Chorus] Elore, elore Elore, elore I love my lusty love Elore lo I love my lusty love Elore lo
