ernest john moeran - phyllida and corydon lyrics

in the merry month of may
in a morn by break of day
with a troop of damsels playing
forth i rode, forsooth, a+maying
when anon by a woodside
where as may was in his pride
i espied, all alone
phyllida and corydon

much ado there was, god wot!
he would love, and she would not:
she said, never man was true;
he says, none was false to you
he said, he had loved her long:
she says, love should have no wrong

corydon would kiss her then
she says, maids must kiss no men
till they do for good and all
then she made the shephеrd call
all the heavens to witnеss, truth
never loved a truer youth
thus with many a pretty oath
yea, and nay, and faith and troth! +
such as silly shepherds use
when they will not love abuse;
love, which had been long deluded
was with kisses sweet concluded:
and phyllida, with garlands g+y
was made the lady of the may
