English text
I gave her cakes, and I gave her ale,
and I gave her sack and sherry,
kiss'd her once, and I kissed her twice,
And we were wondrous merry.
I gave her beads and bracelets fine,
And I gave her gold, down derry.
I thought she was afear'd, till she stroked my beard,
And we were wondrous merry.
Merry, my heart's merry,
my cock's merry,
my spright's merry,
merry, merry.
