 Butthe devil a pin I matter that,

Since I well paid you for ,

Therefore sit down, put on your hat,

I've done as much for you Sir.

DOWN by yon shadow'd grove,

One day I chanc'd to rove,

Where the fields & the meadows look gay,

I spy'd a lovely maid,

She has my heart betray'd,

And she's caus'd me a while for to stay.

Her cheeks they are like roses,

Her eyes are as black as floes,

Her skin is far whiter than the snow,

She is a lovely maid,

She has my heart betray'd,

And the more of her mind I will know.

I said my own sweet heart,

My jewel that thou art,

I have set my affection on thee,

Thou set my heart on fire,

It's all that I desire,

My true love in constancy to be.

It is for you alone,

That here I sigh and moan,

For true love will never decay,

Sweetheart you know my mind,

I hope you will prove kind,

Though my dwelling it lies far away.
