Fretwork and Grace Davidson - Though Amaryllis Dance in Green

Though Amaryllis dance in green
Like Fairy Queen
And sing full clear
Corinna can with smiling cheer
Yet since their eyes make heart so sore
Hey ho, 'chill love no more

My sheep are lost for want of food
And I so wood
That all the day
I sit and watch a herdmaid gay
Who laughs to see me sigh so sore
Hey ho, 'chill love no more

Her loving looks, her beauty bright
Is such delight
That all in vain
I love to like and lose my gain
For her that thanks me not. Therefore
Hey ho, 'chill love no more

Ah, wanton eyes, my friendly foes
And cause of woes
Your sweet desire
Breeds flames of ice and freeze in fire
Ye scorn to see me weep so sore
Hey ho, 'chill love no more

Love ye who list, I force him not
Sith God it wot
The more I wail
The less my sighs and tears prevail
What shall I do but say, therefore
Hey ho, 'chill love no more
