Behold a jocund morn indeed Sun on high, birds in sky Yonder the whist firth eathing Fro where a gale erranteth Oh, that is a lie (ye beholdest but the shadow) Lief I am not (mayhap a tithe of trothplight, I deem) My words are but a twist (e'er and anon) 'Tis a feigned lie through loathing, I say To and fro, save hither, is thy love (a dotard gaffer, I daresay) Not a loth, but vying for my kinsmen (a sapling not) Beautiful tyrant Fiend angelical Dove-feathered raven Wolvish-ravening lamb A hamlet for a slothful vassal Soothing ale for a parched sot Hie to tell me what ye judgest as naught I behold the shadow Wherefore call me such names Nay imp am I Thou art my aghast hart Grassing in the glade No, that is a lie (e'er thou sayest aye) Lief I am not (thief of a plot) My words are but a twist (now go to thy tryst) Fare well (go, leave, totter) With joy I came, with rue I leave (until ye dwindlest) Even the orb (a morsel, nay more) Cannot help me melt the ice (for thy journey hither and thiter) Cannot help me melt the ice Cannot help me melt the ice
