  THE FIRST LOVERS' SONG (Act II, Scene vii, after the Morris Dance)

  O it is June and the warm breeze blow,

  So frolic and joy, in the trees trees trees,

  For summer will pass and soon will go,

  And winter's snows shall freeze freeze freeze.

  So say pretty lady, with eyes so green,

  While summer is here and the weather is fine,

  Wilt be my queen, my queen queen queen

  And sit with me in the warm sun shine?

  THE SECOND LOVERS' SONG (At the end of the play)

  Cold is the wind and wet is the rain,

  With a Hey nonny nonny and a derry down down

  Ill is the weather that bringeth no gain

  Ho well done, with a jolly jack crown.

  Send round the punchbowl, steaming hot,

  With a Hey nonny nonny and a derry down down

  When the snow's outside I'd rather be not

  Ho well done and a jolly jack crown

  Pray to Saint Jude for all good speed

  With a Hey nonny nonny and a derry down down

  That your wherry is saved from mischief and reed

  Ho well done and jolly jack crown
