Lyrics: Anon, probably the composer
Ay me. When to the air I breathe my plaining,
To merry fountains my disdaining;
When to rude rocks and pleasant groves
I tell all my unhappy loves;
They hear me whilst I thus condole,
But with their echo call me fool.
Ay me. When to the air I breathe my plaining,
To merry fountains my disdaining;
When to rude rocks and pleasant groves
I tell all my unhappy loves;
They hear me whilst I thus condole,
But with their echo call me fool.
