The Merry Month of May
By Thomas Dekker
O, the month of May, the merry month of
May,
So frolic, so gay, and so green, so green,
so green!
O, and then did I unto my true love say,
Sweet Peg, thou shalt be my Summer's Queen.
Now the nightingale, the pretty
nightingale,
The sweetest singer in all the forest
quire,
Entreats thee, sweet Peggy, to hear thy
true love's tale:
Lo, yonder she sitteth, her breast against
a brier.
But O, I spy the cuckoo, the cuckoo, the
cuckoo;
See where she sitteth; come away, my joy:
Come away, I prithee, I do not like the
cuckoo
Should sing where my Peggy and I kiss and
toy.
O, the month of May, the merry month of
May,
So frolic, so gay, and so green, so green,
so green;
And then did I unto my true love say,
Sweet Peg, thou shalt be my Summer's Queen.
