+//Then to the Maypole haste away
+For 'tis now our holiday//
+It is the choice time of the year
+For the violets now appear
+Now the rose receives its birth
+And the pretty primrose decks the earth
+[Chorus]
+Here each bachelor may choose
+One that will not faith abuse
+Nor repay, with coy disdain
+Love that should be loved again
+[Chorus]
+And when you well reckoned have
+What kisses you your sweetheart gave
+Take them all again, and more
+It will never make them poor
+[Chorus]
+When you thus have spent your time
+And the day be past its prime
+To your beds repair at night
+And dream there of your day's delight
+[Chorus]
