Greensleeves from All's Faire by Lady Prudence

Alas my love, you do me wrong
to cast me off discourteously
For I have loved you so long,
delighting in your company!

Greensleeves was all my joy
Greensleeves was my delight
Greensleeves was my heart of gold
And who but my lady greensleeves

Alas, my love, that you should own
a heart of wonton vanity
Now must I meditate alone
Upon your insincerity



Your vows you've broken, like my heart
Oh, why did you so enrapture me?
Now I remain in a world apart
But my heart remains in captivity

[Chorus]

If you intend thus to disdain
It does the more enrapture me
And even so, I still remain
A lover in captivity

[Chorus]

I have been ready at your hand
To grant whatever you would crave
I have both wagered life and land
Your love and good-will for to have

[Chorus]

Ah, Greensleeves, now - farewell, adieu
To God I pray to prosper thee
For I remain thy lover true
Come once again and love me
